Chapter 127: little boy

Zuri's POV 

I could barely see anything including my feet. The smoke had already engorged the whole room. I could see the fire on the roof and part of the walls. I had a bad feeling that the roof would give way and crush me to death, if I don't get out on time.

The smoke made my eyes itch and then the coughing started. I have never felt so hot like this before. It was like I was being roasted on a hot oven. 

I took a deep breath but that was a mistake. My lungs burned as I fought for oxygen. 

"Little boy! Little boy! Little boy!"

I called out several times but I couldn't make any distinctive sound of a human being in the room. I almost gave up and decided to turn back. But a crazy thought entered into my mind and head.

 What if I abandon my mission and the little boy's body was found burned to a crisp the next day, Will I be able to live with the guilt?

 Probably not!
