RE: If Your House Caught Fire, what are the First 3 Things You'd Grab On Your Way Out?
August 18, 2017 at 1:17 am
When I was a teenager, my parent's house caught on fire upstairs whilst I was asleep downstairs.
Nobody else was home. Apparently the smoke inhalation kept me asleep.
I was woken by somebody who was driving by and noticed the house on fire. They had to kick the door in and half drag me outside.
Needless to say, I grabbed nothing.
I was standing out the front with just me unddies on, watching the house burn down.
My rescuer left the scene and I never got to thank him/her.
After the fire brigade left I was sitting out the back, grieving for my little terrier, Brutus.
I assumed he was gone but it turned out he was round at the corner shop, scratching on the front door and waking the owners, trying to get help.
When he finally turned up, despite the house tragedy, I was overcome with joy.
Funnily enough, the next day my parents won $50 000 bucks on the lotto. True story.
