The Nightmare

I see it, I see him going into the house engulfed in flames. He knows that he only have so much air in your pack. He is the first one in but he never came back out. I run in after him not caring about everyone yelling at me to stay away from there. I run in and find him instantly. He are buried in floor boards from the second floor that had just collapsed. I scream my head off just as I get trapped in the fire. No one can get to us but I don’t care I’ll find a way out later. I run over to him and start moving the boards away from his body. I get to where I can check to see if he is still breathing. He only has minutes left and all I can do is just sit there and hold him. I kiss is lips one last time before he leaves me for good. I am crying my eyes out, and all I notice is that after he takes his last breath the flames start to vanish. The fire is out and I have no burn marks what so ever, but it hits me like a million tons of bricks that he is gone. He died trying to save someone he didn’t even know. I just collapse from the pain and everything, I cant handle it, I just cant. He was the reason that I was here, he is the one who has saved me without even realizing it, and he’s gone.

The story is very haunting. It seems like you desired to save this man who ran into the building. You found him, laying beneath the floor. You kiss him, to say you love him. The reason he want in there, was because he cared about someone he did not know. However that is maybe why he has done this, having died there, he is gone. You wish you could have said thank you. It is now too late.


Good story, it has a good quality to it.


Sincerely
