"Hurry!"
The fire was raging.
I could hardly feel my hands. They were numb from the pain.
It hurt...
But despite the pain, I remained clear-headed.
Bang!
I punched the wall again, clearing up the opening behind the painting.
Darkness met my gaze.
"Get over here! There's not much time."
I checked the time.
Ten seconds left. My heart was drumming loudly inside my chest as I looked at the raging flames behind me. The smoke had completely taken over, and I could hardly see within the flames. Voices continued to whisper as the faint outlines of several silhouettes appeared within the flames.
They were drawing closer and closer.
'Come on... Come on... Come on...'
The anxiety of the situation was killing me. I wanted to go and help them out, but I knew that I would only get in their way. The only thing I could do was focus on expanding the wall that was next to me.
Bang, Bang—!
I punched a couple of times, expanding it further as I struggled to breathe.
