C80 Watch it burn

Date = 14 February

Place = San Francisco (different places)

POV - Melaena

For a moment, I just sit there, staring through the windshield.

The house looms in front of us — crooked, silent, skeletal against the gray afternoon sky. The same sagging roof. The same broken windows staring back like hollow eyes.
