My dream started out in some African or Caribbean land . I was a young black girl of about 12 years old. I was playing outside with others I assumed were my friends and family members. The area was very undeveloped and the people were dressed in old tattered clothes. Happily playing games and enjoying each other company. Suddenly there was a very load noise of engine spluttering and everyone froze, I was trying to determine where the sound was coming from when all of a sudden I heard a loud deafening sound and again we all panicked. Heat and something smelling like gasoline engulfed us , I cannot say what the others were thinking but I felt like a deer in headlights . My brain was telling me to run but my body was too scared to move.d. I saw myself grabbed a piece of plastic and tried to cover myself but it just melted over me. I was screaming run run but no movement happened. The fuel and the fire spread very quickly, I cannot remember if anyone tried to run, I was scared stiff. I don’t know what happened to caused this inferno but if I had to guess I would as an aero plane crashed somewhere near our village and became all the homes were made of wood and zinc it was an excellent accelerator for the fire. I wondered why we did not try to run but I guess it happened too fast, the brain recognize the pain of the burn as the flesh started to melt from my body but only keep screaming run , run but my legs remain motionless. When I awoke I was so grateful to be alive. I promise not to asked stupid questions about people involved in accidents or tragic events anymore. I was thinking I should’ve been able to escape, after all I was on the dam ground,. But alas I perished in the flames. Scary.
