   Summary

   Tyrrendor Week event - day 5.

   It only takes a second.
   The sudden rise in temperature in the hall and the awful stink of charred meat hit me hard and as I blink my eyes the scenery has changed.
   The hot flames envelop the area but the foul smell now permeating the air comes from our parents’ bodies as they burn alive.

   I’m hugging as strongly as I can what remains of my family, and the tears of shock and sorrow are replaced by a different kind, as a sudden and scorching heat expands on my skin.
