"King of the carrot flowers, pt. 2" - nmh

Someone pulled the fire alarm in our dorm last night.

It wasn’t the first time that this had happened though. It was the second time in a week, actually. The first time had been at three in the morning while I was up late reading a novel. I heard some giggling, a few clicks of a high heeled shoe, and the incessant buzz of the fire alarm. I didn’t panic, though. In fact, I didn’t even think it was the fire alarm at first. It only occurred to me to get out of the building when two hundred grumpy boys and girls started trickling out of their rooms and down the stairs.

But I wasn’t very worried. After all, anyone who giggled while pulling fire alarms must not be very much on fire.

I was sleeping the second time when the fire alarm slowly filtered into my dreams and woke me up entirely eventually. I was beginning to wonder why there were fire alarms in ninja-infested forests anyway. I didn’t hear any giggles or drunkard heels but I figured that it would be too much bad luck even for me to be caught in a fire the only time I ignored the fire alarm. So I stayed in bed, lying on my back, counting the cracks on my ceiling.

And I laid there.

And laid there.

And the alarm kept on wailing.

And wailing.

And I was beginning to think that perhaps I was going to die there half-clothed in my minuscule dorm room after all. But the room certainly wasn’t very hot for an accidentally-made inferno. And there certainly weren’t very many screams or cackling for a fire downstairs.

Actually, to be truthful, my worst fear at that moment was that I might be walked in on by a fireman who thought I might have been the pyromaniac.

I contemplated putting some real clothes on.

And then the alarm stopped. Nothing had exploded. Everyone came back inside.

I didn’t have to get up and get dressed.

LMAO. We've had countless of false fire alarms at our school, except we don't get firefighters here, we kinda deal with it ourselves. See, the fire alarm goes off so many times, that the people on the intercom have to tell us that it's real, otherwise no one moves from the classroom.

Lovely new layout!

Reading that reminded me so much of my first year of University. The morons there set of the fire alarm at least once a week. Strange how they find it amusing. And it was always at about 3 in the morning. I love students some times, they really are the stupidest people alive. Ironic considering their situation. I always just ended up ignoring the fire alarms, it was pretty obvious who it was -_- However there were like two real fires there. One was a guy who's candle burnt down his entire room O_o and the first was my friend setting fire to the oven in another block XD

glad you didn't have to get up. the only time someone at my dorm pulled the fire alarm, i was surfing the internet and it was 3 in the morning.

People pull the fire alarms at my school all the time, and everyone just ignores them. One day there will be an actual fire and we'll all be swallowed up in a fiery inferno.

Oh,I hate stupid people like this who activate fire alarms for fun.
It's not funny at all.
Good from you to stay in your room.

It pays to lay lazily in bed while the world is seemingly on fire.

You get the best seat in the house, at least. If you survive, the opportunity to interview alone will be worth a ludicrous wad of cash..
