Australian bush fire

As I trudged into the burnt woods, I could feel the smoke tumble down my throat.

Everyone was  evacuating,  leaving on wooden boats as big as an elephant.

I screamed for Mum, but there was no response

I fell to my knees my mum left me, now I have to survive by myself.

I started darting as fast as a cheetah.

But then a branch fell down, it wacked me on the forehead.

I woke up to see a man's face looking at me.

He told me that I got knocked out.

He brought me to his house.

He asked if I wanted tea and I said yes please.

He gets me the tea.

I slurp it down as fast as a camel drinking water.

He takes me outside, and I see my mum just staring at me.

A tear drops down my face.

My mum came back to me.

I scurried to my mum and gave her a massive hug.

She said “did you think I wasn’t coming back?"

I nodded, yes I did.
