Fire for the fools
« PIIIIIIIIII »
The strident cry of the fire alarm caught everyone off guard. The dance teacher turn the music down. Unfortunately for the group of trainees and their instructor, the alarm was juste against the wall of their training room.
« Jesus why does it have to be THAT lound »
« If we weren’t deaf already, now we are … »
Peter was holding his head, hands on his ears. The lound sound was making him feel dizzy. He remembered how in high school, a friend of his had broke the alarm just to make it stop.
Peter imagined how nice it would be to do the same now.
« All that for a stupid exercise » he said while opening the door strongly. But as soon as the door was slightly ajar, a huge amount of smoke penetrate the room.
« Oh my god, is that for real ? »
Peter’s training mates were starting to make a fuss.
Outside, voices he couldn’t recognize were yelling « Everyone please stay calm and proceed to the parking lot ». With a quick glance, Peter told a guy standing in the back of the room to lock the windows.
« Let’s get out of here real quick ! The last one to get out must close the door ! »
« PIIIIIIIIIIII »
The alarm was still crying.
When the small group arrived outside, most of the other trainees and staff members were already here, looking worry. Peter noticed no-one looked hurt. What a relief.
But where were the fire fighter ? Shouldn’t they had arrive by now ? Peter observed the building. A white and heavy smoke was going out of every door and windows still open. But that was all. No strange smell, no change in the temperature, no flame … no fire ?
Then Peter noticed Bae Siwoo and Seo Haneul.
« Oh no don’t tel me …. »
