A Hair's Breadth by BigBlueSkies

At about 12:45 last night, I woke to the sound of my brother shouting.

My house was filled with smoke.

I had just enough time to run out of the house before the living room caught fire.
My life is currently packed and stinking of fire in the back of my car. I lost one of my cats to the smoke. All my physical art work has either been destroyed or strewn about the house.

I am alive, and extremely grateful, but the price was extremely steep.

I just don't know what to do.

    Jesus, man. I'm so sorry. It's good to hear you're okay. Just let me know if you want to talk.

    I'm sorry for your loss, but glad you and your brother have your lives. I'm the survivor of having my entire house burnt down in the middle of the night, taking everything with it including about 95% of my family history and memories, so I can empathize deeply. I can't rationalize losing your cat, but for the rest of the stuff.. you eventually just rationalize that they're things, and things will come and go. Let me know if you need someone to talk to.

    Oh hell. I wish I could think of something more to say than I'm sorry. I'm so glad to hear that you're alright. Let us know how the next couple of days go, and when you're a little more squared together, maybe throw up a donation pot?

    That's terrible. I'm sorry. I'm glad that you're alright.

    I'm so thankful you're alive!! ;~;

    I don't quite know what to suggest, I'm just happy you made it. You must be shaken up quite a bit... I guess some time for mental recovery would be best for the short term? You're smart, I'm sure you'd know what to do better than I once you've been able to relax.

    Oh god, I'm so sorry to hear this. I read this article this morning and I've been worrying about you all day. If there's anything I or anyone else can do, please let us know.

    Oh my god, that's awful! I am incredibly sorry for your losses man, but incredibly glad to see that you made it out alright, at least.

    Oh man, I am sorry to hear about this...I am happy to hear you are okay, but I am sorry for the losses you had to endure.
