I rush back into the house. Sophie is still inside.

Sirens resound in the background as I climb the stairs to the second floor. There, the flames dance around me, chanting me.

What seems to come from far away, I hear a child's voice cry for help. I close my eyes, abandon my thoughts, and set off towards her, even though my body catches fire and my throat starts aching.

When I enter her room, I take her in my arms and make it for a run. Once we are outside again I promise her: “I'll never forget you again!”
