Where the Rubber Meets the Road
The smell of smoke filled up his lungs. Ash was falling on his face, but he felt paralysed. It was if he could move, but for some reason his body wasn't listening. The ash felt cold at first, but eventually became hot and began to burn his face.

He quickly raised his hand, but it barely moved an inch before he felt an intense pain in his entire body, like all of his muscles were tight, and all of his bones were broken. He opened his eyes slowly, everything was blurry. All he could hear was fire. The crackling of the fire sounded close, the occasional pop would send shivers down his spine, almost as if he was expecting something to blow up.

His vision became clearer. He was staring at trees, tall and peaceful looking. They seemed to stand taller than the sky. The smoke started to blow past him, he saw the dark gray mixture floating in the air, following the wind.

A piece of ash fell in his eye, this time he had the strength to lift his arm. He rubbed his eye vigorously, trying to get the ash out of it. He sat up, still somewhat sitting down, as he took his hand away from his eye and tried to gain focus. His eye was tearing up, but not from the ash, and not from the pain. The sight in front of him shocked him so much that he cried. He couldn't believe it.
