Excerpt
Flames now filled the room, along with the smoke. It was incredibly hot, like an oven.
The metal door knob was beginning to glow.
With tears stinging my eyes I dropped the crystal back in my pocket, picked up the mallet, and swung it with all my strength at the wall. It landed with a satisfying thunk, but only managed to inflict a small dent in the heavy wood.
Trying not to feel discouraged, I repeated the exercise.
Again and again I swung, throwing all my weight into the movement.
I couldn't take a full breath. My lungs burned. Tears filled
my eyes so I could scarcely see.
Reaching down to pick up my shirt, I draped it over my head and swung again.
Finally, I managed to beat a chunk out of the wall.
The flames licked my heels. If I got out of this alive, I would need to take a bath in Nicolas's burn ointment,but I tried not to think about that as I swung again and again.
My swings were getting weaker. I couldn't breathe. Racking coughs had claimed my body and the hole in the wall was still too small.
Sinking to my knees, I struggled to hold on to consciousness, but I was no longer sure if I should. My hands
and knees against the floorboards were pure agony. Blackness could only hurt less.
