FLASH FICTION CONTEST #1

I looked on in horror at the blaze as everyone I knew was in that town.. I fell on my knees in shock and started weeping. I wanted to die, but I carried on to see the buildings as they burn to ash calling names hoping, hoping that and answer would come back but to no avail. This whole time it feels like a cold heavy burden on my back ever since I saw the flames and heard the screams, the absolute horror I felt. Yet I can’t shake the feeling that someone is watching me like a hawk zoned in on its prey, but I keep walking, smelling the stink of burning flesh and listening for any other noise than the crack of fire, but none come. 

As I walk it reminisces about life before, but I am jolted out of it as houses start falling, bang! Bang! Debris starts flying everywhere as I look for a place to take cover, there is a burnt brick wall I can use to take cover from the debris I run as fast as I can to get there but when I get to the wall there is a burnt corpse of a man behind it the sight of it shivers up my spine I fall back with terror and for a second forget about everything the debris going at my head at 15 miles per hour. I get my wits about me again and make a mad dash to the brick wall but I get hit in the head with a brick and blackout. When I woke up I started screaming no! No! No! Why! I start sobbing as I lay down. Why did I start it! Why! Why!
