The Fire.

I woke up with a start last night. I’d had a sour dream about the case. Upon looking out the window, I noticed Miss Maudie’s home was in flames. I jumped out of bed and woke up Jem and Scout. We all rushed outside to see if we could do anything. I told Jem and Scout to stay put and went to help move furniture out of the house. That was a dangerous and tedious business. Then the fire trucks put out the flames before they got too hectic. It may have been the fatigue but… i could have sworn I saw Boo Radley. I gathered up Scout and Jem and returned home. When I got there, I noticed Scout had a blanket on her shoulders. When I asked her where she got it from, she looked just as bewildered as I did. Jem right near lost his mind, babbling on about Mr. Avery and Indian coins. I let the incident go, on account that Jem was so razzled about it. Now that I really think about it, I really did see Boo Radley tonight.
