         I woke up to the sound of an alarm. A fire alarm. I tried getting up to run, but I was strapped down to a table. I was still groggy from the anesthesia, so I looked to the door for help. My mom was yelling at a doctor, though I couldn't tell what she was saying. I look the other direction where I heard snickering. It was my dad. A smokey smell began to fill the room and my dad went running grabbing my mom and dragging her with him. They all fled the room. My eyes filled with panic as a looked at an approaching flame. I tried to yell for help, but nothing came out. Attempting to make any movement of my body was a long shot, but I still tried and failed. The flame grew bigger and bigger until it filled the entire room and hallway around me. Screaming echoed around me. The burning. The forgotten. The ones who were left for dead.
