“Wake up, wake up. We have to go.” Chloe heard her mom’s voice somewhere above her, interrupted by a raspy cough. Her eyes popped open as she smelled the smoke in the air. Her room was filled with smoke, and behind her closed door burned a bright glow.

“Mom, what’s happening? What do we do?”

“There was some faulty wiring that caused the fire, and the firemen are outside, we have to jump down through the window.”

“But we’re two stories up!!”

“Don’t worry, they’ll catch us, but we have to go soon.” Her mom coughed out. They opened the window to see the fireman standing there, calling for them to jump. Her mom had Chloe jump first, and after she was safely on the ground again, her mom jumped.

“Oh I’m so glad you’re safe sweetie.” Her mom said, wrapping her in a big hug, which somehow shocked her back to reality.

“But I forgot my pants!!”
