towel, and doused it with water. She wrapped the dripping towel over her head and mouth and ran to the kitchen. The flames were everywhere, and she felt the light hairs on her hands shrivel as she picked up one of the timber chairs and ran back to her room, the only place that didn’t have fire in it yet. Only smoke. There was lots of smoke. Her lungs felt tight and clogged, but she didn’t let that stop her. She heaved and pushed her bed until it was away from the window. She tugged and ripped the curtains down and threw them on the floor. Her energy was sagging, and she knew she needed more oxygen.

Debbie got down on her hands and knees and then lay flat on the floor on her stomach. She removed the now-dry towel from her mouth and gulped in air. Once she was feeling steady again, not so light-headed, she stood up and began to swing the chair at the glass. Shards exploded out, and she swung the chair again and again, until most of the glass was gone. She pulled the towel from her shoulders, folded it, forming a pad, and placed it over the jagged edges. She climbed up on the window ledge and looked down.

It was a lot farther than she had thought, but she didn’t have a choice if she was going to survive. She took a deep breath of clean, fresh air and began to cough. She swayed but reached out and gripped the window frame to steady herself. Then she jumped.

She landed awkwardly and felt pain pierce her right ankle. As she fell forward, she ducked her head and rolled. When she stopped moving, she pushed herself to her hands and knees and crawled away from her burning building.

Now that she was out, reaction began to set in. She was so cold, and her body was shaking. Feeling uncoordinated, she collapsed against the brick wall at the entrance to the alley. Just as she slumped down, a loud explosion permeated the air, and she felt something hit her head. She slid to the ground, unconscious before she finished falling.
