#Chapter 42: Through the Flames
Abby
Just as I’m leaning forward to make sense of the strange spark in the back of the oven, something
ignites.
I jump back with a yelp just as the heat nearly consumes me.
My heart races as the orange flames dance menacingly from the oven, cutting off the symphony of our
dinner rush with its threatening roar. The scent of burnt food mingles with a more acrid, electrical smell.
An electrical fire.
Panic courses through me.
“Fire! Fire in the oven!” I shout, reaching for the nearby fire extinguisher.
My fingers barely grasp the cool metal before I feel the searing heat engulf my arm. A sharp pain
lances through me, and I draw back with a sharp hiss, dropping the fire extinguisher.
My arm pulses with intense pain, the skin red and already blistering.
“Abby!” Karl’s voice cuts through the chaos, and before I know it, he’s beside me, effortlessly wielding
the extinguisher to smother the flames. Within moments, the roaring fire is reduced to a smoky whisper,
but the damage is done.
I cradle my burnt arm, biting back the tears that threaten to spill. The pain is overwhelming. My vision
blurs, and my legs feel weak. The world tilts.
“Abby, look at me,” Karl urges, his voice lined with concern. His deep brown eyes are inches away, full
of worry.
“I… I’m okay,” I manage, although the quiver in my voice betrays me. The pain isn’t subsiding, and a
nauseating mix of fear and shock swirls within me.
“You’re not okay,” he insists. “We need to get you to the hospital. Now.”
The bustling sounds of the restaurant seem distant. Whispers and murmurs of concern ripple around
us, but all I can focus on is Karl’s steady voice.
“No, the restaurant…” I begin, my thoughts fragmented. The reality of the situation hasn’t fully sunk in.
