Last month, our parents house burned down.
- I had been playing with the heating system, trying to teach myself how to do heating system servicing.
I talked to the Heating and Air Conditioning company when he was at the house, and I watched what he was doing. All I did was mimic his actions, without really making any changes. I grabbed 1 wire, and it broke off in our hand. I hastily closed the heating system up, and went upstairs before mom and dad got home from work. That night, something malfunctioned in the heating system and it caused a house fire. Every one of us lost everything, but most people was safe. Mom and dad were aggravated, and I kept saying the fire was our fault, however dad told myself and others there was nothing I could have done to start the fire, even though I had been the 1 who was playing with the heating system before they got home from work. When the insurance adjuster came to the house, he said the fire was caused by an electrical glitch. Every one of us were lucky most people was awake, because the fire spread so hastily. I started crying when they said it was electrical, and now I was sure I had started the fire. I told dad what I had been doing and he told myself and others it had nothing to do with me. He was aggravated that I was playing with the heating system, but he didn’t think it had anything to do with the fire. I told him a wire came off in our hand. Dad told myself and others the insurance adjuster said the fire started in the play room and not in the heating system room. I was thankful dad was trying to make myself and others recognize better, even though I was still convinced the fire was our fault.
