THIS IS A TRUE STORY!!! I AM WRITING THIS THE NEXT DAY!!! One day, my older brother put some microwavable mac and cheese in the microwave, but, he forgot to pour in the water! I was in my room, upstairs. I smelled very burnt toast, so I went downstairs to see what had happened. My mom, who was downstairs, told me that "When the mac and cheese went in the microwave, it caught on fire and melted the bowl a little." At that point, just a little smoke was there. It smelled like VERY burnt toast. My dog, Ginger, who weighs 8 pounds, Mom told us to go upstairs, stay in our rooms, and close the door. So i picked up Ginger and I went to my room. Mom followed us. We just sat in the rooms for about 15 minutes. I was TERRIFIED. The smell got terrible and my eyes stung. We opened all the windows and turned on all the fans. But then, mom covered her face and went downstairs and to our little patio. Me and my brother came down, too. My brother carried down Ginger. We hung out for another 15 minutes. I put my shirt over my face as we went back upstairs to sleep. Oh yeah, this was at 11:00 PM. My eyes hurt more than they ever had before. Smoke got worse. I got in bed and went to sleep. The smoke died down a little after a while, and it didn't get upstairs. In the morning, which is as I'm writing this, I went to the stairwell and it smelled like toast. Just the bad parts of toast. And yes, I am okay.
