The moon hung high in the sky, casting a soft glow over the city. But the peacefulness of the night was shattered by the sound of flames crackling and buildings collapsing. Smoke filled the air, thick and suffocating, making it hard to see anything beyond a few feet. The heat was intense, scorching the skin and making it almost unbearable to stand.

 

Amid the chaos, the sound of screams could be heard. People were crying out for help, for someone to save them from the fire that was consuming everything in its path. The air was filled with the acrid smell of burning wood and plastic, mixed with the sickening scent of charred flesh.

 

In the distance, gunshots echoed through the night. It was hard to tell who was firing, or why, but the sound only added to the terror that gripped the city. Those who had managed to escape the flames huddled together, praying that they wouldn't be the next victims.
