Maiden Rock
“Wisps of smoke were starting to leak under the edge of the door. Jared leaned over as far as he could into the room. He didn’t want to climb through the window; there wasn’t enough time. He needed to get the kid out of there pronto. “Davy, come here,” Jared commanded. The little boy had crawled out from beneath the bed. He looked over at Jared and cowered.
“Davy,” Jared yelled and stretched down his arms into the room, hoping to lure the boy within reach. Davy stood still, too scared to move. J...ared had to make him move. The fire would bust through the door any second. What could he say to get him to come to him?
“Piggyback,” Jared yelled. It was a game they played. “Come on, buddy, piggyback time.”
Davy responded to the word and came running to him.
Jared’s arms tightened around the boy. The kid was so light he hardly weighed anything. He lifted him up and out the window. Then they both fell back, off the wheelbarrow, and landed on the ground.
Jared knew they needed to get away from the trailer.MoreLess
