Emergency Fire Blanket Reviews Novels & Stories

Julian roared back, his eyes fixed on the rearview mirror where the white light in the dust cloud was growing larger, a blinding artificial star in the Nevada noon. "She’s using the blanket as a conduit!" I scrambled to unwrap Florence, my fingers fumbling with the shifting fabric. The wool felt cold, vibrating with a high-frequency hum that made my teeth ache. I threw the blanket out the window. It didn't fall to the dirt; it unfurled in the wind like a predatory wing, hovering for a split second before being sucked back into the following dust storm. The moment the blanket was gone, Ethan’s seizing stopped. He slumped against the seat, gasping for air, his face ashen.

“These are water filter straws. Do not lose them. Each straw can be used for at least several days, I want to say. Use them when you find a decent water source to help filter it a little better. You do not want to risk getting sick.” She also passed her two large clear ponchos. “It is supposed to rain tomorrow. They won’t help with your shoes too much but they will help to keep most of you dry. If you get far enough away tonight you can wear one and use one as a cover if you find a good place to hide.” The last thing that she passed Emily were two bug spray sized cans with no markings on them and a foil blanket. “These are to cover your scent,” she said, indicating the cans. You will need to

“I’m not usually the cook. But I think we’ll survive it.” “I’m sure I’ve eaten worse.” Then I see it. Flames over his shoulder. “Ronan, shit!” I point. He moves around behind the bench fastT the towel has landed near the gas flame and is alight. It’s close to the pan with chicken pieces and oil. Somehow that also ignites. Ronan steps back and I stare at him beside me. “Run!” He yells. “Seriously?” I say, already grabbing the nearby fire blanket off the wall. I throw it over the flames.

The heat radiating from the furnace intensified as they inched closer, sweat beading on their foreheads despite the cool evening air. As they reached the crates, Ezra reappeared, his arms laden with thick fire-resistant blankets looted from the crates. Working quickly, they wrapped Amara in the heavy material, forming a protective cocoon against the scorching heat. "We can't stay here much longer," Maya warned, her voice strained. "The furnace could overload at any moment."

"Smokeless. Odorless. The Tundra scouts won't see a thermal bloom on their sensors if I keep the pitch low." "Where the f**k did a hospital pharmacist get tactical-grade heat-gel?" Richard asked. He leaned toward the blue glow, his hands out. The trembling slowed, but the grey tint around his mouth remained. "That’s black-market tech. Spec-ops stuff." "I told you. I wasn't at a hospital for five years." Joshua reached into his bag and pulled out a thin, crinkled sheet of silver-and-gold foil. He walked to Richard and threw it at his face. "Put that on. It’s a thermal medical blanket. It’ll trap ninety percent of your body heat."

I stood there and stared at myself not knowing what to do. I was able to finally take my clothes off and step into the hot shower water. I did not dare take a bath because I don’t think I would have been able to get up if I laid in a bath. I let the water run over my body as I let my head lay on the wall. Closing my eyes, I tried to relax. All at once, the tears came. I couldn’t stop, I had so much inside of me and it all wanted out. I stayed there for a long time just letting the sound of the water hide my sobbing from the world. When I got out, I noticed that my eyes were now puffy along with being injured. I am a mess and I’m too tired and emotionally drained to care. After wrapping a to

Isabelle had her jacket on and her knees pulled up and was looking at her phone screen which was down to thirty percent and still showing no signal. “There's a vending machine,” I pointed in the direction, and she glanced at it. “It's not going to be warm,” I added. “But it's something.” I got up, heading straight to the vending machine. It was dead. My gaze shifted to the couch storage beside the window seat and found what buildings like this usually kept. A folded emergency blanket, the thin foil kind, and a basic first aid kit. I brought the blanket back, handing it to Isabelle. Isabelle took it without argument, which told me she was colder than she was going to say.

I hissed, turning my hands upwards and reaching for my core. My hands bloomed with yellow light, growing warm with heat, before sizzling with a blue flame. I almost jumped. At the same moment, I noticed something different about me. I made to run to the mirror before I froze, scooping up the charred blanket and stuffing it into a laundry bag. It should remain there while I figure out what I would do about it. I hope the omegas don’t miss it too much. There are probably a thousand blankets divided into batches for every royalty in the Alpha house, so I don’t think anyone would miss one blanket.

There was nothing that could speed up this process, and so I waited. By the time my sight returned, my underwear had been pulled back up. My skirt was still on the floor, soaked through with blood. I’d recoiled at the sensation of fabric on my arms and whipped my head down to see a blanket draped over my shoulders. It was one of those fire blankets that they’d put on survivors in the movies, grey and scratchy against my skin. I had no clue how long Elijah had been standing there, knelt in the blood as he snapped his fingers in front of my face, shining that stupid little flashlight in my eyes.

How were they going to start that fire, though? The answer came with the rest of what Kat brought before the rain started to fall. There was a first aid kit in one hand, and the other held a black bag. "Check this out!" Kat said as she put down the first aid kit. "We can patch you two up properly now!" Wild's tail wagged. "That's great - though I wish we had this before I tore apart my only source of warmth -" Kat smiled apologetically. "But wait, there's more!" She opened up the black bag and started pulling things out. Safety gloves, a utility knife, a tape measure, as well as insulation tape, a pen, a whistle, a multipurpose blade, an emergency blanket, scissors, a plastic tweezer, safety
