...better hero than dead .. rite?
I know I'm always lookin for an adventure or something outta the ordinary to happen to sort of brighten up my day ... but yea .. God, apparently, took that to another level ...
Today ... SHOULD HAVE BEEN a normal day at work .. but no ... (i'll cut to the chase) ... So i'm helping this guy out with lottery .. gettin his tickets & shit .. & suddenly i see a sharp glare from the corner of my eye .. towards the right ... i turn to see the trash bag .. spittin out flames .. as high as the ceiling ... (which is 12-13 ft. mind you) ... so well .. i freak out cuz the trash bag was pretty much a foot away from me .. so i ask the guy infront of me .. to call 911 .. while i look for a fire extinguisher .. but apparently when you're freakin out like that .. ur senses dont work well & it was hidden behind like a display of sun glasses .. so i run back & get a bucket of water .. & kept spilling it on the fire .. back & forth .. back & forth ... the guy came back in to tell me that the fire dept. was on its way .. i'm thinking .. NO SHIT!! ..lol.. anyway ... so the guy came back inside .. told me to come outside .. cuz the fumes from burning plastic are insanely toxic .. i was like i'll be rite out .. but then the stupid hero side in me was like .. fuck no .. you're not gonna let this place burn to hell .. so i figured .. yea .. worse comes to worst .. i'll break the window & jump outside .. so i start pulling shit outta the fire .. yes ..lol.. i reached into the fire .. for small instants tho .. pulled cartons of ciggys out .. bit by bit ... (my hand still burns like crazy but no visible damage) .. once i'd pulled the electrical wires, from near the fire, and cartons outta teh fire .. i figured it was abt time i'd do somethn abt the fire ..lol... so i kept using baskets ... two of em .. i'd spill one on top of the fire .. while the other one refilled .. during it all .. i inhaled some really nasty fumes .. plastic ... toxic ... could feel my vision blackening out & almost collapsed ontop of the fire .. that would NOT have been pretty .. AT ALL!! ..finally the flames came down a little & i did the stupidest move .. i decided to stomp on it ..lol ... the end of my pants caught on fire .. & i literally said .. "OH YOU MUST BE FUCKING SHITTING ME" ... lol ...so i poured water on the pants .. not much happened to the leg .. a bit burnt .. once again .. no visible damage .. just alotta burning ... (the hands feel worse .. i've atta (flour) on my hand rite now =D ) ... so i pretty much .. successfully .. put out the fire .. in time ... then the fire trucks show up .. they see me all fucked up .. they keep yelling out .. ARE U OKAY .. CAN U BREATH!!! .. DO U WANT AN OXYGEN MASK .. i was fine .. i could breath .. not well .. but i could .. so i said naa .. i'm okay .. they took my statement .. took pictures of the wreck ... the plastic fucked everything up ... inside the trash that is .. they kept asking what happened .. i told them the whole thing ... they're like .. most of the time .. its a cigarette butt in the trash .. but i told em .. no one was allowed to smoke in the store ... so the fire marshall arrives & starts digging around .. he didnt find anything .. they were confused .. it was NOT due to an electrical spark ... there was NOTHING that coulda burnt the trash .. in the trash .. no remains or ANYTHING .. so as far as they now by now .. its either i caused the fire .. which is stupid .. cuz i was NEXT to it ..lol. & i put it out .. (the guy who was there .. left his card so they can contact him ) .. the other possibility was spontaneous combustion .. which is fucking disturbing & scary ... & its more likely to be that .. cuz the flames shot up to the ceiling .. in an instant .. had it been a ciggy butt .. i coulda smelled the burning plastic .. or the flames coulda started from lower & gradually increased ... the flame shot as if someone fucking threw a can of lighter fluid or gasoline in it ... ANYWAY ... the day ended .. the fire ppl left ... the store owner came ... took over ... i left to come back home .. my parents freaked out .. now the store owner (family friend) .. is over for dinner ..lol.. no insurance claims or anything .. cuz i pretty much saved everything from gettin damaged ..except the trash ....
better hero than being burned alive .. rite?

Set this place on fire
Watch the flames rise higher
And as they reach the ceiling
At your feet I'm kneeling
-Mad at Gravity - Burn
