that's what i woke up to this morning. about an hour and a half ago (4:30am), i was in deep sleep but the sound of crackling pulled me out of some dream. i got out of bed and looked out my window and saw what looked like the flicker of a campfire reflecting on the wall of the nextdoor building. in my dreamy, non-glasses-wearing stupor, i couldn't quite make sense of it all. it wasn't until the person across the way screamed "FIRE!" that i grabbed my glasses and went out into my little patio space and saw the top of the building next door completely engulfed in flames. adrenaline kicked in, somehow i managed to grab the footage from my master's project (which may seem trivial, but dang, that's my life right now) and ran out the door into 6 fire engines lining the street. luckily, the flames didn't jump buildings seeing as here in boston all the brownstones are built continuously, sharing walls. i sat on the street for about 45 minutes praying that everyone got out safely. we have all since been let back into our apartments. i am completely wired. my stomach hurts, i think from the chemicals that surged through my body in that moment of realization. crazy morning. i hope that each of your mornings are calm and enjoyable. love and lots of water...MM
