Man, I don’t want to do this. Malcolm and his stupid club. What if he sees me? Oh my goodness, this stuff reeks; where’d he find this crap? Hmmm... the house seems pretty quiet. Eew, what did he do to this bag? It’s all wet and smells kind of funny. My fingers are getting oily too. I can’t believe I’m doing this, it’s so mean. Well, if I’m going to do it, I might as well do it now. C’mon you stupid match, light; he’s gunna see me out here! There, it’s lit. Oh shoot, forgot to ring the bell. Run! Run! (panting) Oh man, I need to get into shape. Why isn’t anyone coming out? Oh shoot! That flame is getting pretty big. Oh no! The leaves! Where is this guy! He needs to come out and put that bag out right now. I can still smell that stuff on my fingers. It’s not the smell of crap, but something else. Oh shoot, the bag just exploded! I’m so dead. I’m so dead. I’m so dead. I gotta get out of here before someone sees. I’m so dead. I’m so dead. I’m so dead. What’d Malcolm put in there! What am I going to do. What am I going to do? What am I going to do?! Maybe its not that bad. Maybe it’ll just leave a small scorch mark. Oh man, I don’t want to go to jail! I’m so screwed! Stupid Malcolm. Dang it. What did he put in that bag?

Yay, that was such a great dinner! I love going to McDonald’s. And I got this cool Spongebob figure. I wish I got a Patrick figure though. Patrick’s so much cooler than Spongebob. I can’t wait to get home and play this new game my dad got me. It looks so good! This has been the best birthday ever. Too bad Billy couldn’t make it. I hope he gets better soon. What are those flashing lights up there. I think that’s in front of our house. Oooh, fire trucks! Oh no! There’s a fire. I wonder who’s house is on fire, I hope its not ours. Oh no! It is our house! Bobo! I hope Bobo is okay. What could’ve happened? All my games, all my toys, everything, gone. Where are we going to sleep? Where are we going to live? What if... what if this happens again?
