When Our Hose Caught Fire

"Mother! A-A...Fire!" I said alarmed. It all started on Christmas eve, we were baking some food for Christmas day and biscuits.

It started in the living room and spreaded into the kitchen and dinner table. We had a lot of things plugged together. It started by the heat that was coming from the plugged in things, the cats were also playing with the wires. My mother and I were talking to our neighbours from the balcony, since she lived right beneath us, so we didn't even notice. That is until we got inside. The food was also getting ready. I felt alarmed, ill-tempered, blue and stumped, basically mixed-feelings! There was unbearable heat, the flames growing higher, the flames flickered, crackled and flared all at once! I was scared to death.

I saw a lot of things happening at once. My cats running all around the house, my mum and I freaking out and saw things burning. I heard shrieking, my cats meowing, my mum my mum freaking out and much much more. I also heard sirens wailing. I smelt burnt plastic, burnt wood, and many things burnt.

Once we got inside, I told my mum and she called the fire fighters. I got important things, got the cats first because I love them. Started screaming and praying. I was all over the place!

I was pale and most probably I fainted during the fire because I woke up in a hospital room! What would you have done? Scariest time ever!
