"...What?"
I was. I don't know what I was. I just felt a rush of blood flow to my head. The world seemed to fade away. I couldn't really hear, there was just a bathump bathump, pounding in my ears.
The edges of my vision turned black, until I could only see what was right in front of me. But, even then I couldn't focus on what that was.
The world turned into the sea as it swayed beneath my feet. I stumbled around barely hearing my mom's voice cutting through my pounding heart beat.
She continued through choked up breaths, "Look, I don't really have any details. I just heard that there was a fire and that she was found in the rubble. I tried pulling up the doorbell camera feed to see if I could find anything. But, the feed was wiped clean. So, I don't know what happened at all."
I barely registered what was said before I replied, "oh, ok." Then I hung up.
…
After that I don't know what happened. Time seemed to flow unbelievably slowly but a few days passed.
