Tales From October Volume II

There were no other cries though as I quickly searched the other apartments, looking through the other windows, hoping I'd not have to fly into the flaming building to search up close and personal.

But I was certain that I heard more cries than those of the two I had rescued. I knew then that I would have to enter the building and do that up close and personal search. I didn't like it, but any people inside deserved that extra effort.

So I found a window open
And in I flew
Not wanting this to do
But needing to do it yes indeed

I searched as quickly as I could, one apartment at a time, hoping against hope that I'd been wrong, while knowing I hadn't been. I'd heard more than two screams. And since there were no more screams, the distinct possibility was that some people had succumbed to smoke. Be it unconsciousness or death.
