That Night, I Was Done
Luckily, I survived. At the very last moment before the explosion, a passing truck driver risked his life, smashed the window, and dragged me out.
Behind me, flames shot into the sky. In that instant, something inside me went completely still.
I was burned clean.
…
I woke up in the ICU with multiple fractures across my body, a mild concussion, and severe burns on my thigh.
Andrea didn't show up until three days later. She carried a basket of fruit, the cheap kind sold outside hospitals. Inside were two strawberries. Still strawberries.
