The girl that looked into the fire

On the 15th of February 1984 a girl called Alice was born. Over her first year she began to start learning some words. Quite strangely her first word was 'fire'. Her mum and dad had no idea why it was that but they thought it was because they had all been to shop for a fire the day before and she was just about starting to speak.

At the age of two every time the fire was turned on she would crawl over to it and look straight at it after ten minutes of it being on she would start to scream and cry so she would be taken away from it. this carried on until she was four then at the age of five something horrible happened! It was at 7 o'clock at night when Alice's mum and dad were taking Alice up to bed she fell asleep almost straight away they both came back down at ten past 7. They both fell asleep then they were woken at twenty past 7 by Alice crying franticly. Both of them ran upstairs and she was screaming 'fire, fire'. Then they heard the fire turn on and it came running up the stairs and then .... NOTHING!!
