I been driving around what seemed for hours down a small country road with only my headlights to tell me where i was going. Here i was 25 years old, lost and
wondering where i was. Like many young men i had nothing better to do then to go out at night to have fun trying to find new places. I must took a couple wrong
turns off somewhere. I found myself out the middle of nowhere. As turn onto another road to hopefully escape the endless countries roads. I notice a reddish glow
to my right. Through the trees i thought it was a forest fire at first, as i got closer i could see it was a house that was on fire. I step on gas pedel and nearly recked
as i pulled into the driveway of house.
I jump from car and took a quick look at the fire that had taken the house almost completely. I yelled to anyone who might be house and heard reply from a young
girl screaming for someone to help her. I took my jacket and put over my head and started trying to knock down the front door. Only after hitting it once i heard
the sound of steel. Confused and dazed for second i thought who the hell would have a steel door in the middle the country. I heard the scream again from the girl.
This time it came from the side of house. I quickly ran to the side of house and saw a small basement window had been busted out from the inside. I peered down
into the window and through the smoke and saw a small child in the corner trying to avoid the smoke and fire. I called to her asking if she could reach the window
and so I could pull her out. She ran over to the window and reached for the window and i tried to reach for her, but no luck. Through shocked and crying face she
reply "I can't reach it". Looking around for a that could help me i saw a garden hose laying accross the ground going to a spinker. I grab the hose and lowered into
the window and told her to grab it. She grabbed the hose and tightly has she could has a i pulled her to safety. I hurried back the other end of hose to see if she
was alright. I wrapped her small arms around crying a even more. Dress only in a shirt and underwear was almost cover in ashes.
I notice she was holding a small strange device in her right hand. I asked her if anyone else was in the house. She only cried "No", She told her parents were killed
my the fire. I decided it would be best to take her to the hospital then wait for help. I sat her passager seat of car and started for highway. By some mircale i found
the highway and started for the hospital. She cried louder and pleading to me not to take her the hospital. Against my better judgement I took her to my home. If
would have be better to take her in the morning if there was no sign of trouble. How strange it was i thought as i looked at this little girl who just starting to fall
alsleep. I would take us about 20 mins to reach my home. I could put her in guest bedroom just for tonight.
As thought about had happen to lose parents couldn't be any worst done to a child. Another strange thing was no firetrucks and police cars that went by. A house
like that should had have a securtiy system or something. I pick up the strange device from the little girl hand to have a closer look at it. I looked like remote
control, but part of it was fused together after pushing couple of buttons i felt a chill. shaking the feeling off i laid the device back in her hands as i pulled into the
driveway. Putting her in the guest bed. I laid down on my bed to rest only for a moment before calling firedepartent or the police and fell asleep by accident.
