Compo Homework (Fire in a lift) (LAST WEEK))
Hey, I don’t think we should be doing this!” I stammered.” Oh are you scared? Jerry mocked at me. I sighed and I leaned to the wall outside the lift. Jerry took out the tin of thinner that he just bought and he wanted to see if his teacher, Mr. Tan, was right in saying that that kind of substance was highly flammable. Jerry, Darren and me had met up to see the fire “show”. However, I was starting to have second thoughts about this.
The sudden spark of a matchstick jolted me out from my thoughts. Jerry had just light up the matchstick. Will open the bottle of thinner and poured it all over the little that was lying around the lift by some inconsiderate people.” Stand back!” Jerry instructed and we moved to the back of the lift. He signaled at us what was going to happen next but suddenly, a gust of wind swept by, causing the flame to shrivel up, vanishing from sight. “Never mind, I have an extra matchstick.” He said and took the spare matchstick and light it up. Jerry threw the matchstick onto the litters. I imagined what happened and pushed the boys out. The gentle dancing flame touched litters. Immediately the small flame exploded into what seemed like a fiery monster. Thick smoke filled the air, shrouding the surrounding in total darkness. Flames licked at me, sending me to horror. I screamed for horror and they went to find the phone booth to call the fire fighters but they could not find it. They went around the flat to search for people with hand phone. Finally, they found a friendly guy with a hand phone. They call the fire fighters and after he called them, the stranger asked Jerry and Will what happened. Will told the stranger that there was a fire in the lift. Soon, the siren filled the air. I heard the siren and said, “I..a..m..save..” before I fainted
Soon I woke up. I figured out that I was in a white room, am I in heaven? “Benny! Benny!” I heard a voice. I opened my eyes wider and saw my family, Jerry and Will crying beside me. “We’re sorry, Benny.” They wailed. The fire fighters told me that it was dangerous to do that but he praised me for saving my friends life and they decided to tell to the school what happen, wishing that this would not happen again and telling the school what I done. Soon as Jerry and Will when home, they got scolded for playing fire and they swear not to play fire again. The next day, my form teacher said that I was very brave and praised me.

After a particular incident, I learnt not to believe in strangers anymore. Streetlights glow invitingly in the
semi darkness. I was going on my way home after tuition. A few friends were still playing at a playground
near my tuition class. Their laughter filled the air. Sighing contentedly, I continued walking home. I had a
good day. I scored 95 marks for my mathematics test and I could not wait to tell my parents about this.
Suddenly, a worried-looking lady rushed to me, “Your father met with an accident today while going to
work!” She rushed out in a breathless voice. I stunned for a moment. She told me again that my father’s
friends and my rest of my family were already in the hospital. “They doesn’t want to leave your parent’s
side so they told me to come and bring you there.” She said as she brings me to a car. Fear surged through
me. Thoughts of my father, injured and covered with cuts and bruises, filled my mind. The car went over the
hospital and continued heading up a small deserted side road. “Where are..” I did not finish my words and she knocked me out. When I woke up, I found myself in a place where the ceilings were covered with cobwebs. Where am I? Why was I here? I wondered and I turned to the lady and a man behind her. They pushed me into a gloomy old room. In a corner, a chair and a layer of dust covered every inch of the room. “Don’t move and stay here!” the man roared and tied a rope on my hand. As they went out I went closer to the door and heard them talking to my parents. “I got your son! Bring me one hundred thousand dollars or your son will die!” The man shouted and fear gripped me. I sat alone in the room and thinking of getting out. I looked desperately and I saw a sharp jagged broken glass bottle and used it to break the rope and the next look, I saw a window, half-open. I dragged the chair to the window and I stood on the chair. I slowly open the window. Cree..
The kidnappers heard the sound and came in. “Stop! Don’t you dare to jump down! They shouted. I could felt beads of perspiration trickling down my face as I looked down, It was too tall for me to jump but I risked and jumped down to the dark gloomy alley. Bamm! They ran out and saw me dragging one of my legs, running. They were in hot pursuit. As they ran for a few minutes, they heard sirens filling the air. “The police! Run! Run!” the kidnappers said to each other and ran back. But the police surrounded the alley. The police jumped and armlocked the kidnappers and handcuffed them. I was brought home and soon discovered that the cell phone that my father bought contained a tracking device that can locate the people calling them. A few days later, I watched the news and saw the kidnappers that was arrested, was sent to jail for 5 years and 7 strokes of caning.
