A Fire Can Change Everything

"It can't happen to me." "I'm not like them." These two phrases are two of the biggest untruths people can voice. I used to think this in a way until last night when a poster fell off my wall and onto a candle I was burning. Luckily the fire caused by this wasn't too big and I got it out before it became serious but even that small fire changed my outlook on some things. I've heard the firetrucks and seen them fly by on the road but never have I ever thought it would happen to me. Granted the firetrucks never cam e to my room because, as I said, the fire was small. However, it melted the top part of my printer so now I can't scan or copy items. It also poured soot into the printer as I poured water over the fire. I can't remember the last time I was this terrified. The simple fact that I may not even be able to pay my bills for February means I definitely can't afford to replace this printer. It's a sad feeling thinking that I don't even have the $100 to pay my bills. How I wish I would get a letter in the mail with money in it from an anonymous donor. LOL. Like that would ever happen. It would be nice but that's another matter. As I was saying, a fire can change everything. I was fortunate enough to only have to deal with a small one that I was able to deal with myself. Fires are dangerous and never something to fool with. Hopefully I'll never have to deal with one again...
