the emergency services, trying with all his might to remember what his mother’s work schedule was that night. He exhaled with relief, remembering his mother was to work late that night for inventory. He made to run passed the policemen, to his childhood home.

 

 

A gruff looking police officer held him back. “It’s too dangerous, stay away from the house!” The policeman barked loudly. Maxwell dropped to his knees. What could have caused this? All he ever knew and loved was in that home, including his dog Brotus. He weeped, his friend’s coming to pat him on the back. The next door neighbors came over, Arthur and Rebecca Smith, a family of color. Their son Adam had went to school with Maxwell his entire life. He used to go over to their house as a young boy to play flashlight tag, and always felt as at home there as his did his own. Arthur began speaking to Maxwell through teary eyes. “Maxwell if you need anything, you know that no matter what my family and I are here for you in this time of need.”

 

 

Maxwell thanked the family, “I am just so glad that mom wasn’t home, who knows if she would have been able to get out in time.” Maxwell exclaimed. The couple looked heartbroken, as Rebecca began crying loudly, pushing her face into Arthur’s chest. Maxwell looked up and Arthur turned his body allowing Maxwell to see his mother’s car. “Maxwell, Lucille was home,” Arthur said with a shaky voice. She told us earlier when we were on a walk with the dog that tonight was your eighteenth birthday, so she called off to be able to surprise you.

 

 

“One victim identified, get her in the ambulance,” the firefighter ordered stoically. As the ambulance worker pulled the stretcher out of the burning debris, Maxwell’s stomach dropped. It felt as if he was numb and on fire at the same time. His heart skipped beats for the second time of the night, but now for a much more tragic reason, as it lurched upward into his throat. He ran over to the duo pulling the stretcher, as they wheeled it into the ambulance he couldn’t help but notice that there was no mask or air pump they were using. He reached the firefighter and explained that he was Lucille’s son and asked what her condition was. His nerves tingled, his mind preparing for the earth shattering news. The man removed his mask, and the look on his face told Maxwell everything he needed to know.

 

 

 

 

 

“I am sorry lad,” The man began. "There were no survivors. She’s gone.”
