I'd gone to visit my younger sis in another town n had to go back to the city for 2days. When i got back i was so sleepy i went to take a nap in her bdroom. She had mistakenly put a heater in an empty jar to heat water n switched it on n didnt notice cos there was a blackout. I did notice it but i was so absent minded it didnt occur to me to switch it off. I got in bed n covered myself completely and immediately fell asleep. I woke up chocking thinking i was dreaming. Uncovering my head i couldnt see anything through the heavy smoke n flames. Confused i cried out to my sis who came running opened the door. I ran towards the direction she was calling me from n she pulled me out of the hse. She and her maid put out the fire with 6 buckets of water. Turns out when electricity came back the heater with no water to heat melted the jar n burnt the pvc, my nephew's clothes, books, suitcases n part of the duvet i was covering myself with. If i hadnt chocked n woken up or if the fire had burnt into the mattress i wouldnt be here to tell this story. Its so easy how ppl die in fires while other ppl r in the house. My sis didnt even smell or see the smoke cos the door was closed n she was cooking. It just happened yesterday n am so grateful to be alive. Am scared of flying n if asked i would tell u that y'day i thought the plane would crash n never would have thought ad survive the journey n almost die while asleep in bed.
