the fire

As I woke up, I could hear the alarm howling at me to get up.  I reached up and turned it off, but the alarm was still blazing.  I tried again, nothing.  Then I noticed that I was sweaty and smelled of smoke.  Smoke?  I threw off the blanket and looked around.  Everything looked normal but I could defiantly smell smoke.  My eyes burned and my head hurt as I tried to think of what to do.

I ran down stairs.  Still no sign of a fire but the smoke was just as thick, hanging over everything like a thick black cloud of doom.  Still with no sign of fire but the smoke I ran to make sure my parents were okay.  They had already left, without me!  I ran outside just as the first flames sprang up from the floor.  I tried to find my parents but couldn't.  Then I remembered that they were sleeping in the basement because of a broken window and it was too cold in their room.  I turned to run back inside as the air conditioner exploded and the whole house was suddenly covered in flames.
