Answer 1

IT WAS RAINING HARD ......... 

It was raining hard that night. In a hurry to get into the house, I didn't notice a black car parked across the road. I realized something was wrong when an arm pulled me into the bush next to the door. I tried shouting but another big palm landed on my mouth. I struggled with my legs but soon felt a fistful blow that made me unconscious.

I woke up to loud voices of men and women screaming around me and the heat made me squirm uncomfortably. I opened my eyes, feeling dizziness in my head and coughed. There was smoke all around me. I heard the loud sound of a fire engine and found myself in a house that was on fire.

It was not my house, the things lying there were not mine. It was an unknown place.

I was scared. In order to look for a way out to pulled me up and started moving towards the door. I touched the doorknob and 'aeww!', it was hot. It then struck me, the house was on fire.

I didn't know what to do. The coughs became frequent and it was difficult to breathe. I didn't realize when I fell down unconsciously. I could feel nothing, but faintly heard a door break open and I was being covered and carried away.

The cool breeze on the skin and faint voices calling out my name brought me out of the deep slumber. I opened my eyes to white walls and lights around me. I felt a warm hand on my palm and heard exciting words. 'He is awake now !' Moving my head towards the right, I saw the most beautiful face, my mother was there in front of me and tears welled up in my eyes. Feeling safe I drifted peacefully into sleep again.

My parched throat forced me out of sleep and l mumbled softly, 'water', 'water!' I drank some and opened my eyes, feeling a lot better. It felt like a rebirth.
