Jay and his circle of friends were the kind of group you'd expect to build a spaceship from scrap. That day, they were just hanging out, the smell of pizza in the air, debating which of them could hack NASA faster. Laughter echoed through the old house they called "Think Den."
"Enough with that hacking, don't you ever wonder what its like to live in a fantasy world, isn't so cool" said Kevin eagerly.
"What book did Jay gave you to read this time, Kev? I'm sure you're turning into a beast—with that face," Maya said mockingly.
"Careful, Maya. If he is a beast, you just triggered his transformation," Alexander chimed in with a smirk.
"You demonn!" Kevin shouted, playfully charging toward Alexander as if he was a beast
"They really won't stop, will they?" Jay with a smirk, watching the child's play
Scarlett smirking. "This is what happens when you give Kevin a book—next thing you know, we're all in a fantasy world."
"I'm hungry.. how much longer for those noodles?" Angel who's holding her stomach dramatically
No one noticed the faint hiss in the kitchen. The gas tank had a leak..
"Hey guys don't you smell anyt--
Then—
BOOM!
A blinding flash. The floor shook. Flames swallowed walls in seconds. The explosion ripped through the quiet, and before anyone could even scream, the fire had claimed everything.
Neighbors saw the smoke. Sirens wailed, but it was too late...
The news called it a tragedy.
We called it a dream come true.
