Fiction: Group 3
She ran away. The door was burning, and workers were running all over, trying to avoid the menace. She
had to find another way! She didn’t know what to do. Then the concrete slabs fell. One after another,
they tumbled. There was an escape route! She ran towards the hole in the wall. Behind the hole was the
river. Lihung hoped she could jump in it. But the snake followed her. She jumped.
Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. She was turning. She could see the river beneath her, but
she could also see the snake right behind. It stuck its tongue out and hissed in anger. Then it pounced, a
huge flame. Lihung saw it grow, powerless to stop it. The flame was soon all around her, wrapping her up
like the peel of a lychee on the flesh. She felt burning pain around her.
She screamed in pain, closing her eyes.
She opened them again. A scene of velvet darkness.
