Hello redman,
Friday the 13th last week was rather heart wrenching as my cousins' house burned down. I was playing the computer when later my mother and brother called to inform me about the incident. As i was too engrossed trying to win a stupid game, i played down the seriousness of the event and continued to finish the match.
Only after winning the match, did i realized that it was something serious so i rushed down there. But by the time i got there everything had been reduced to ash save the bedrooms. Luckily no one was injured. I managed to explore the charred house a little and everything was a mess. The kitchen, where the fire was said to have started was the worst hit with 3rd degree burns. The refrigerator which was ironically supposed to be cold had also melted.
The living room was very dark even though it was only 3 in the afternoon. The whole placed had been stained with soot plus the stench of burned rubber and wood made the place look worse. The whole house was flooded too due to the water sprayed by the firemen. It look somewhat like a scene off the game left4dead only that if a shotgun had been placed nearby we could have exterminated the remaining zombies. Damn, idiot me, no more games for me.
Hopefully my cousins and his family will be able overcome this ordeal soon. It was disheartening to see my uncle insisting to bring in a mattress to sleep at his favourite spot in the living room where he would watch his stack of dvds over the weekend. Those dvds are also burnt now.
Hang in there guys :(
