Love in Fire

A group of persons was saying that a pyroclastic

flow occurred and it just wiped out Reid Hills and
that anyone there would be dead by now.

Immediately, I froze with fear. Reid Hills is where I

lived and where I last saw my mother. My heart

skipped a beat. Tears strolled down my cheeks as I

thought of the many opportunities I had to tell her
I loved her, but didn’t.

Suddenly, a noise came from the shelter’s door. To

my surprise, Mummy and Uncle John were

standing in the doorway. I rushed towards them.
“Mom I thought you were dead,” I said. “ It’s alright

darling, I’m right here,” she replied. I then realized

that I couldn’t have done anything without my

mom. From that day my mom and I became much

closer.
