Tim's family was gathered around the red brick fireplace on a cold night in January. The house had become snowed in earlier that day, and the snow had yet to melt.
Tim's sister, Sara, asked "Did somebody leave the oven on? "
Their mother Fiona replied, " I didn't. Could your father have? "
But no. While they were so deeply engrossed in the soothing orange flames blossoming out from the wood, a figure dressed entirely in black slipped out of the window. ..
Tim started praying, hoping that if something happened, they would all make it out...
They didn't. The fire that the man in black had set in the upstairs bathroom had quickly spread to the other rooms. The staircase quickly lit up, and then it was only a matter of time before it was too late for the Russo family to get out alive.
