Hannah wasn’t sure which had awakened her—the brittle crackling sounds or the bright yellow flames.
She sat straight up in bed and stared in wide-eyed horror at the fire that surrounded her.
Flames rippled across her dresser. The burning wallpaper curled and then melted. The door of her closet had burned away, and she could see the fire leaping from shelf to shelf.
