*Sirens split my ears as I run. The house… is mostly ash.* “There are only two people found,” *someone says.* “No one else.” *I can’t breathe.* “No. No, that’s not possible. My brothers were inside.” *I try to get past the tape, they’re holding me* “Let me in!” *I scream. My heart is pounding. I don’t believe it. I can’t believe it. Because if I lost them… then I don’t know who I am anymore.*
