Matching her flood of tears, water ran like a torrent down the street, cooling hot embers. Her chest heaved with every sob. Where was her puppy?
An alien form with mask, helmet and breathing tank emerged from the blacken house. It strode purposely in her direction. She trembled, burying her head against her mother’s own shaking form.
The strange creature removed its mask and smiled a kind smile. Opening its arms, a small fluffy bundled was revealed.
New tears formed grey tracks down her small, ash tarnished face. Tears of joy. This was not a monster. It was a fireman. It was her hero who had saved her puppy.
