Mickey, Kana & OPEN
The alarm hadn't woken Mickey. Neither had the people running in the hallways, of the screams of people trying to find their friends. In the end, it was one of Mickey's housemates who took the time to shake the djinni out of his heavy sleep. "Mickey," the girl shouted, "Mickey, for fuck's sake, wake up!"
The djinni stirred, groggy and still heavy with sleep. "Mwhat? ...Had this bad dream. I saw my mom--"
"Mickey! There's a fucking fire! We're evacuating!"
That got Mickey's attention. As he got out from the bed, the girl averted her eyes, because the djinni slept naked. He quickly jumped into his trackpants and then followed the girl.
He could see smoke coming down from the floor below. They went down the stairs, but as the girl simply ignored the smoke in the hallway and went down the next stairs, Mickey stopped. Kana's room was that way. the girl shouted: "Mickey!"
"You go," he said, "I'll come. The fire won't harm me!"
So, before she could protest, Mickey ran into the hallway. The doorknob was hot, but it didn't burn the djinn. He forced the door open, hot steam billowing out of the doorway. Mickey could feel the heat sizzling against his skin. He closed his eyes and then opened them again, not able to see through all the heat and the steam. "Kana?" he cried out. "Kana! Answer me!"
