Left Behind

Entry way clear,
Advancing forward,
Dragging the line.
Following the smoke,
Deeper and deeper.
Darkness consuming the light.
Brightness appears,
Angry flames,
Eating everything in its path.
The order goes out,
Evacuate before you get hurt!
Turning towards the team,
Only to find that you've been left behind.
Follow the hose line,
Only to be tangled and lost.
Calling for help,
But no one hears.
Suffocating madness,
Blinding flashes,
Grim reality, truth unfolds,
Your family never was.
