Fire! Or Not...
It is nighttime and you are snuggled up in your warm bed. You're very relaxed, your whole body feeling limp. You can feel your stomach rising and falling as you take slow, deep breaths. You gradually drift into a deep sleep when suddenly the fire alarm goes off! You jump out of bed and exclaim, "Oh no!" You frantically feel around for your shoes (it is very dark) until you locate both of them. You put them on and run out of your room. Remembering that all doors and windows must be shut, you run back to your room, quickly shut your window (which was slightly open because yesterday an extension cord was running into it from the softball game), shut your door, and then head for the outside. You forgot your coat, so you shiver as you walk outside and say, "Brrrrr....." You are concerned that your dorm is going to burn down until you see a mighty handsome security guard approaching. You call to him, "Help us!" He comes nearer, checks the dorm, and then announces that there is no fire. Someone had just burnt some toast. You throw your hands up in the air and exclaim, "Not again!" You head back inside, take your shoes off, and get back in bed. You yawn, let out a sigh, and once again drift back into a deep sleep.
