Bread Doesn't Burn
I almost had to repeat the ninth grade for attempted arson, all because the three of us were bored at lunch and decided to try to light my sandwich on fire.

I did not intend to start my day at 2am by being woken up by someone shouting, "Fire!"

I learned to believe a person when they say, "Trust me, thats flammable."

It is strange that it was the sound of crackling that awoke me, not the flames rising from my lap.

After narrowly preventing a smouldering towel from burning our house down, the thing that affected me most was realising that we really own far too many useless, wasteful objects, and if they had all been lost, I would truly miss very few of them.

Only then did I realize how much I had when she told her daughter they lost everything in the fire.

The walls aren't flame-retardant for up to one hour, so we have to move.

One thing I used to obsess about was how I'd get my dog out of my window to save him when my house was on fire.

Setting your textbooks on fire in a garbage can in your backyard is not a good idea.

As the fire grew larger and larger and the dumpster grew ablaze, I felt only the heat of guilt as my friend stared remorsefully out the window when the police arrived.

I didn't realize my house was on fire until a complete stranger opened the front door and I thought to myself over the high-bass classic rock, "Is someone downstairs cooking waffles?"

After we put out the fire in the front seat, we drank some of the beer that was in the cooler in the back seat.

My friend Bob loved his vinyl records so much that he used to obsess about which ones to save if his house caught fire but when it actually happened he chose his girlfriend instead.

One Saturday morning when I was three I decided I wanted Jiffy-Pop, but I couldn't read so I didn't take the paper top off and almost set the kitchen on fire while my siblings watched cartoons and my parents slept in.

One time my older brother put his coat in the oven to try to dry it off, but it kinda caught on fire.
