Burnt skin was all I smelled
Filling my nostrils with the stench
As I woke from my unconscious state

And climbed out the window
I stood on the stairs looking down
I gulped loudly and swung one leg over
I swung the other too and soon I followed

No yells were heard
No scream of fear
I fell towards the concrete
And my world fell black
