THE WILD CAT
People had gathered around, trying to put out the fire.
“Mom!” I cried out and was about to dash into the fire when I felt a pull back, someone holding onto me.
“You have to stop, Riley,” Susan screamed. “Please don’t, you can’t go into the fire,” she begged, drawing me back. Within minutes, ambulances and fire trucks arrived, and firefighters rushed to combat the blaze.
I watched helplessly as they tried to extinguish the fire. “Susan,” a voice called, making her release me.
