Lost in dreamland, I heard the door to my bedroom open. It was my mother, but the sun was barely shining. Irritated at being stirred from my slumber, I told her to go away. But, something was wrong.

Still halfway between unconsciousness and waking, I propped one eye open. I saw a building on fire. 'Why does my mom want me to watch a movie at this... Full story
