Nearly featured on the local news when mother rushed into my
room at 8am (?!) in a serious panic. “HONEY, WAKE UP THE TREES ARE ON FIRE COME
QUICK!” I expected to step onto the balcony and be hit with heat from the
forest fire. The adrenaline dropped as I glared into the distance to see two
palm trees with glistening leaves. “What are we looking at, mother?”
“GET THE BINOCULARS!”
It was sunrise. There are two trees swaying in the breeze.
There is no smoke. Unsurprisingly
there are no other residents flapping about in a fluster on their balconies.
Not even the homes directly in front of these trees.
“Right, that’s the sun. Thank you for waking me up.”
Brilliant.
