Firebug

The corridor was filling with smoke from the fire. What started with a small flame was now out of control! Soon, the big ornate box would be reduced to ashes, and all the clothes from the fashion fest, a gift from the Shah, would be ruined. 

Oh no! Where is the cat? She was lying on the arm of the chair, but I can’t find her now. I hope she didn’t burn in the fire. At least my secrets were safe. I must refrain from feeling too smug when they find me amid the debris of the fire I started.
