My life was perfectly normal. I had a great group of friends, my parents had a steady salary, and we lived in a nice house in Seattle, Washington. My life was perfect.

Until June 28th, 2017.

I smelled the smoke from up in my room. I remember rushing downstairs, screaming my parents names. I ran upstairs, in hopes of finding them. Panicked, I did what I had always done during an emergency. Grabbed my treasures. I remember runig to the door, finding it locked, and looking for a way out. I remember my world going dark. I woke up in a hospital bed, a twisted ankle, and a burnt hand. I remember asking the nurses where my parents were. I remember them saying they were gone.
Dead.
I was alone.
I had no hope.
The people I cared the most about were gone.
The people who raised me, who took care of me, were gone.
They were both gone.

No more hope.

No more family.

Just me.

Alone.
