Life after death.
Samantha
The alarm wasn't suppose to go off yet. It was 4 am when I was awoke by my sister yelling in my face to get up. GET UP and she pointed at the door. There were flames licking the bottom of our door and an orange hue coming through as well. My first thought was to open the door and save my Mother and my little brother who was in the back bedroom. My sister quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me back informing me that if I did that we would be done. I ran to my closet and pounded on the wall yelling for my Mother to wake up. My fists hurt so bad I couldn't pound anymore. My sister yelled at me to get out through the window. That window just days before had one of the panes covered with plywood because my sister and I had broken it with one of our dolls. It was a narrow pane that we had to squeeze through. I had several cuts in my hands and feet but we made it out. I was in shock as I watched my house raging with fire. I will never be able to erase that from my mind. We were ushered away by family friends while waiting for my Dad who was in town from Toronto. We were taken to my Grandmother's house who lived somewhat close and waited for word whether the rest of my family made it out. My sister's birthday was the next day. Dad spent a lot of time it seemed up at the hospital where my brother and so I thought my mother was taken. When they arrived back we were ushered away and told that we'd see them soon. So when we were told several days later they did not make it my life and heart was shattered.

"The alarm wasn't supposed to go off yet. That's what Sebastian thought when the sharp sound cut through the air. He still had time. He was sure he still had more than enough minutes left. Sebastian blinked a few times at a rapid speed. He pinched himself in his left arm to ensure he wasn't imagining this like you would in dreams. He was pulled out of his slum by the sound that declared the end of this all. How could it be that the timer already had run out? What would happen to him now? He didn’t know the answer. He had never felt so small all his life.
