There was a fire yesterday morning I was sleeping and woke up to the smell of the smoke it smelled like fireworks someone had set off inside the house I automatically went into panic mode got dressed and jumped out my window and ran around to the front of my house but my family was screaming for someone to get my little brother (he was 5) by the time I realized I had left him in there it was too late my room was filled with smoke and I wasn't able to get back in we tried to pull him through his window but we couldn't find him through all the smoke all I did was scream for him to come to the window so I could pull him out and I wasn't able to get him out I never was much of an emotional person I would shed a few tears and I'd basically be numb after that and just go about my life and I cried on and off while they put out the fire but after it was all over I was just ok and I don't feel guilty when I know I should I could've done way more to help him and i guess I just wanted to tell someone thanks for reading.
