FIREFIGHTERS, USA
All is quiet, asleep, sweet dreams, suddenly in the dark, the smoke alarm screams!
Fighting cobwebs of sleep, not familiar is the shrill sound, opening his little eyes, trying to look around.
He grabs his action heroes, he's scared and can't breathe, smoke is filling his room and he hears himself scream.
He cries for his mother but she can't get in, the fire is outside his door, trapping him!
Clutching his favorite hero, he wishes for it come to life, to take him away to safety, to save him from this fire!
Under his bed, he curls up on the floor, as the smoke begins to clear, through soot-filled eyes, he looks up!
And sees a REAL HERO standing there!
