I was working in the yard, trying to get our modern BBQ built.
- My spouse had taken the kids shopping for modern school clothes.
There is nothing better than having something to labor at and no one to bother you. I smiled, thinking about this, when I heard a boom. Next thing I knew, the home shook and then it exploded. I took cover in the garage, to get away from the flying wood and debris. I didn’t assume if I wanted to scream or just watch what was happening. I pulled our cellphone from our pocket and I called the fire supplier. I told them that our home just exploded. I knew I had been working on the oil furnace earlier, and I worried that I had done something wrong. All I did was change the air filter. I also looked at the pilot light to make sure it was lit. I remembered turning on the gas, knowing that I would soon need to use the oil furnace at night. Did I leave the gas on? Was the pilot lit? I had all unusual questions going through our mind. When the fire supplier arrived, they put out the fire and then they told myself and others about the oil furnace. Apparently there was a buildup of gas, and when the oil furnace ignited, it blew up. I didn’t even assume that could happen. I still wondered if it was our fault, although I didn’t say anything. My spouse was scared about what the two of us would do, when she came home, and almost everyone was crying. I told her that it was a good explosion.
