Myra stood next to her father and held tightly to
his hand.
They watched the fire and smoke billow from the
windows. Myra could feel the heat from the flames on her face
and smell the smoke from the burning wood.

With her other hand, Myra held tightly to Aerobella's
leash.
Her father held firmly to his steel briefcase.
Myra's eyes followed the lines of gray and black smoke as they
flowed out of the windows. They looked like streams of water floating
up to the sky.
