Melsborough Streets

He nods. "Mm Hm, we've had quite few of those, seems you and the Cameron fellow are the only ones left, you know, if your looking to do something productive, I'd sign up to do a documentary, we've alot of interesting characters in Melsborough!" he wipes off his shoulder brisquely. "Including myself, I've tried to get Cameron involved but he says he's much more comfortable in his house... can't imagine why, I swear the only time that man gets out is to buy supplies!"

"But enough of this, well met! I hope to talk to you again soon Mr?......" he lets his voice trail off, implying to conclude the conversation with pleasantries.

 

He nods and shakes your hand. "As I said, I'd like to see you involved! come by anytime at the desk, tell Vicky to send me out and I'll be right by. He walks back to his office and lets you go about your business.

 

You are awoke abruptly in the night, the first thing you see is your clock 2:07, you smell smoke, and smell a faint Vulpine scent.

Above you is a small fox boy, you've met him before... he had shaken you from your sleep and yelling at you frantically.
"Get up! get up! C'mon the whole place is coming down, we gotta get out, it on fire, the whole place!" The boy coughs and jerks you once more, jarring you from your intoxicated state, and begins to drag you out the door.

 

Kyte leads you to the door, and pulls on it, the door doesn't budge. Kyte tugs harder but flops onto the floor. he coughs, unable to catch his breath due to the sheet of smoke, he looks at you. "I can't..... open it..." He ttries once more, but is hoplessly wasting his oxygen.

The room is getting hotter now, and it is becoming hard to breath, you fell lightheaded, and Kyte is close to unconsiousness, you have to get out... but how?

 

Kyte jerks as you hoist him over your shoulder, you look down and you stand at the balcony's edge.

Beneath you see four firefighters, holding a large trampoline with a target painted in the centre, the look up at you. "Jump, the building is coming down!" you hear kyte Gasp the clean air outside, allowing him to get a word out. "Jump?!"

 

You throw Kyte, and he lands with an audible 'Oof!' then you jump, the sound of the wind rushing through your ears blocks out any other sounds, it is only when you hit the trampoline, and you hit hard.

Your weight was all to sudden, and the trampoline bends until you feel the hard cement onyour spine, like a boulder had been thrown at high speeds, as you get up and ask whether or not Kyte was alright, you hear Kyte respond. "Yeah, that was fun, if the building wasn't on fire I'd ask to do it again!"

 

Kyte looks at you for a moment, slowly his face turns to that of guilt, "Well,see it was like this: I was walking in the lobby, in circles, and um.. asked the lady if I could rent a room, but she said she can't rent rooms to minors, so I uh... picked the lock on your door, and just took a peek around, and um.... I hope you didn't want any of those Turkey sticks, I sorta ate em' all..."

The building behind you makes a rumbling sound, and begins to collapse, you hear a fireman shout, and everyone begins to clear the area. your arm is snagged by one of the firefighters as well as Kytes, and you are hauled away from the building, you watch as it falls, embers and smoke blot the sky as the building collapses in on itself, as well as the comforting room you had lived in for two days.
