His movie was just getting to the best part. He spent the majority of his days off watching this or that movie, mostly action adventure. He didn't have much else to do any more since his wife had divorced him and taken the kids. His construction job had him working four or five long days each week, so he liked to take a load off of his feet and relax when he had the opportunity. Wow, this one's really getting to me, I'd swear I smell smoke was the last thought to pass through his mind before his life changed dramatically. A loud explosion drowned out the noise from the television, assaulting his eardrums and rocking his house. A quick glance out the window showed that the house across the street was engulfed in raging flames. Noting that the car was present in their driveway, he raced outside to see if the people who lived there had made it out. Traffic was stopped in the street, the drivers staring at the flames. His neighbors were coming out of their houses all up and down the street to gawk as well.
