Fire

As smoke filled up my house, my lungs, my eyes.  I became frozen, crippled even.
I was scared, no terrified.  alone .
there was no before or after, just that moment, that single fragment of time frozen and separated.
I feared death, I knew I was trapped.  As I approached the doorway, contemplating my chance of escape. I just couldn't move, I wasn't ready to die yet.
