Last night at about 4 am, just as I'm about to sleep, i go to the bathroom for once last wee. When I turn the light on, the room is hazy. Normally I'd just think it's mist from the shower, but it wasn't humid at all. When I turn on the hallway light, I see the whole house is thick with smoke.
On the stove was a saucepan with flames coming out of it. Like those garbage pale bonfires that hobos use in the winter. My brother had been frying earlier (frozen corndogs from Walgreens of all things) and the oil had somehow caught fire. I have no idea how it happend. He swears that all the burners were off, but who knows.
There is no major damage to the house but the kitchen is a mess from smoke damage, which my mom is having a breakdown about. Rightfully so. She was screaming until her throat was swore when it happened and this morning she started crying about it. I hope she's calmed down now, or at least by tonight so we can have a nice dinner.
It's weird though. A few nights ago I had a dream that my brother caused some trouble that involved the police. In the dream he had this bewildered look that he had on all of last night. Also in the dream I spontaniously ran into a friend from highschool. Earlier last night I saw him at blockbuster. I also dreamed that Ilana was dating a douchebag and was very uncomfortable WATCH OUT
Everyone is going on about how I saved the day twice yesterday. First in the morning by providing clean urine for a drug test, and then by finding the fire when everyone else was asleep. I only saw the smoke because I had to use the bathroom, so both times I "saved the day" my urine was the hero. IT TRULY IS GOLDEN.
