Princess, It's Me

There was a bright light before I realized what was happening. Fire. Burning the house above me and slowly converting the once breathable air into a black smoke that hurt to inhale. What do we do? I hear a voice ask. We need to get out. How? I asked. The door. Push it open. I go towards the only door and my hand automatically goes to turn the door handle. NO! Startled I stop short of the handle. I feel the radiating heat coming from the handle and let out a small sigh of relief. I move my hand away and look around. There’s no other way out. I’m stuck. Left to wait for the fire to destroy my home and slowly but surely suffocate me.
