THROUGH FIRE AND WATER
By:
Lillian
HE STOOD TRANSFIXED. HIS LEGS WERE LIKE LEADEN WEIGHTS CEMENTED FIRMLY TO THE
GROUND.
HE COULDN'T MOVE. HE COULDN'T THINK.
HIS EYES WERE RIVETED AT THE HORROR BURSTING
THE RICKETY LINE-SHACK WAS A BLAZING INFERNO AND HIS BABY BROTHER WAS
HELPLESSLY TRAPPED INSIDE. HE HEARD THE SHRIEKS OF TERROR AND PAIN AND STILL HE
COULDN'T MOVE. THE WRENCHING PLEA FOR HELP PIERCED HIS SOUL. HE WAS
NUMB.
SUDDENLY, HE LET FORTH A GUT WRENCHING SCREAM. "I'M COMING LITTLE BUDDY.
HOLD ON, BIG BROTHER IS COMING." AND WITHOUT WARNING ADAM RAN STRAIGHT
INTO THE FLAMES. JOE NEEDED HIM…AGAIN.
