My Old Friend Burned My House Down, But His Parents Died Instead!

"Alex, we accidentally set your house on fire with the fireworks! Your parents are trapped inside!"

It was a holiday evening. My old friend, Liam, invited us out to catch up. He insisted on setting off some fireworks to liven things up.

Liam, wanting to make a grand show, just waved his hand and bought over ten thousand dollars' worth of fireworks, ready to light them all at once.

Watching the rows of fireworks lined up on the ground, my eyelids twitched, and I tried my best to warn him. But he wouldn't listen, just smiled and said,

"I know what I'm doing."
