Jody woke from her sleep to a faint crackling sound outside her
bedroom. Narrowing her eyes on the door, she noticed smoke
billowing in from the edges. As a panic response, she opened it to
see a bright burning blaze wrapping its arms around the hallway
leading to her room. Jody let out a screech, hoping her parents
would hear her. Streams of water fell down her cheeks as the heat
drew closer and closer. Though she was unable to see from the
smoke in the room, she heard a crash from the window. A
fireman, her savior, scooped her up in his arms and
brought her down the ladder to safety.
