[hometext] => A man wakes up to find his house burning down...
[bodytext] => It was night, I was asleep and sound, there was a bang that shook the ground, so I awoke and looked around, and found that my house was burning down. I had to get my family out, they were my world, without a doubt. I choked and coughed and crawled along the floor, I felt the heat as I got near the door. I opened the door, and there he stood, amidst all the fire and burning wood, the man that has been haunting my dreams, he created the flaming world of screams. I turned to run, but I was way too slow, I was easily overcome by this foe. I woke up, hurting from the blow, all around me was a blurry red glow. The man walked over, smiling with glee, He said, "You will suffer for eternity!" But then, someone else came out of nowhere, and said, "Let us battle fair and square." He pulled out a sword, as did the other man. I watched in amazement as the fight began. The two men looked exactly the same, they looked like equals amongst the flames. I couldn't believe how they both moved so blindingly fast, It seemed like neither of them could ever be surpassed. Finally, one of them met their demise. I winced at the dying man's piercing cries. Then the surviving fighter dived at me. It was impossible for me to flee. The evil sword plunged right through my heart, but it's magic would not let my soul depart. I would forever haunt my destroyed home, as a ghost, I would forever be alone. I watched despairingly in my transparent shell, as the evil man said his sarcastic farewell. I had to watch as my house finished burning, had to listen to my family screaming. Oh, how I wished this was all just a dream. How I wished that not all was as it seemed...
