Fire This Time

I slept in a bit this morning due to having fallen asleep in the wee hours.

This isn't my house.

I don't know whether anyone was hurt, but I saw a barefoot older man sitting on the grass across the street from the burning house. He looked shell-shocked.

Nothing like a fire on your block in the middle of the night to keep you from sleeping, especially when you have a senior to take care of.

Check your alarms--and your parents.
