Chapter 89:

LXXXIX | Some Room

Something's Not Right


Finally,
I locate the study room—

It's the source
of the fire.

The shelves are on fire.

(Everything inside actually.)

It's now a factory
producing smoke.

My skin melts.

Hands haul me
upright.

Away.

Tammie!

The siren screams at me.

I fight.

(I don't realise I've collapsed.)

I kick another canvas-clad nurse.
My wet towel is gone.

She's still in the studio.

I struggle,
fighting this canvas-clad

nurse.

She hasn't escaped!

I'm being dragged once more.
I'm screaming again.

He can't hear me.

I writhe and kick.

My nails
sink into the canvas.

My fingers bleed

but I rip at it.

The siren
screeches
like I do.

Tammie!

Let me go!

Tammie!

Both of us
fall,

I'm on top—

His hands release me
to break his fall

and I'm gone.

Stumbling into walls,
crawling past the heat.

Something explodes

but I only hear
the siren get louder,

and then
I'm thrown
forward

in the direction of Tammie.
