Flames

The angry fire roars, powerful and strong.
I watch as the little wombat tries to quickly scurry away.
CRASH!
Downfalls an old tree, its branches snapped, its leaves burnt.
The wombat, barely dodging, runs even faster.
Too fast.
It stumbles on a long sharp stick and lands violently on the rough ground.
Struggling, it manages to gain enough strength to stand up.
The terrified wombat watches angry sizzling fire roll down the fragile tree’s branches.
Help save them, before it’s too late.
