“Not until every one of the kids is out!” I shout. I’m not shouting to be a
jerk. It’s just that the roar of the flames is too loud for anyone to hear me. I
guess somewhere in the back of my mind I realize I’m being a stubborn
jerk. I can’t help myself. If I don’t survive, I don’t survive. I’ll be damned,
though, if I survive and even one of the kids is left in the building.
There’s a brief flash of irritation on the firefighter’s face. It’s not easy to
see through the smoke and the breathing mask he wears. It’s there, though.
He dismisses it, however, and ducks past me to get to the kids. He grabs one
and two other firefighters grab one each. I get back down on my knees and
herd the rest of the kids back toward the outside wall. It’s concrete. It might
get hot but it’s not going to catch fire.
Oh no! All of their crafts are burned up!
Wow. Did that thought really run through my mind. Everyone here
could die. Until those three firemen come back with empty arms, I can’t
even be sure of the kids they take. I’m looking at a burning shelf where
little paper mâché sculptures are burning and I’m treating that like a big
regret?
How the hell did this fire even start?
I stand up as I see the firemen returning. I quickly usher three more of
the kids. “You need to get yourself out,” one of the firemen says, “just like
how on a plane you put your oxygen mask on first and then—”
“You’re going to let me come back in and help after you get me out?” I
shout. Then I kneel with the rest of the kids. There are seven of them left
but soon only sex as the fireman takes one of them. I think it’s right then,
with half of the kids out or on their way out, that I really dare to let myself
hope. It’s just possible we’re all going to get out of this alive.
Holy heck! I’m twenty-two and a half years old. How in the world am I
thinking about whether or not we’re going to survive? How in the world am
I not totally freaking out? Actually, I guess I really am totally freaking out. I
just keep it all inside because my first duty is to these kids. They showed up
to their after-school program like they do every single week and every one
of them is going to damned well make it home. That’s why all the freaking
out happens inside of me.
I said all of that with a lot more confidence than I feel. I’m not some
kind of wonder woman. I’m not a superhero at all. Maybe I’m having one
of those superhuman moments, though. You always read about them or hear
about them. A woman lifts up a boulder to save her son or a man rams a car
with his body to protect his daughter. That sort of thing. Maybe something
like that is happening for me right now. Maybe I’m getting some
superhuman bonus.
