Glass smashes from the windows.

Fire roars.

There’s heat on my back, but we’re out.

Hannah’s in my arms.

Why is Hannah in my arms?

“Jake?” someone screams.

He went back in.

Sam is here.

My legs finally buckle, and I fall to my knees on the wet grass.

It’s cold.

Where’s Jake?

I need him.

Lights are flashing.

Hannah is screaming.

I think I’m trying to soothe her.

It happened again.

I couldn’t breathe.

People are rushing toward the flames.

Others are crowding us.

Where’s Jake?

I need him.

People are touching us.

Every time someone touches Hannah, she screams.

I think it’s her.

Maybe it’s me.

A woman is snapping her fingers at me.

I do that.

I do that when people are in shock.

“Ma’am?”

Hannah screams again.
