You move further into the classroom.

It chills you to see that there is a pair of feet sticking out from the aisleway! They aren't moving. The feet are stockinged and are wearing flat shoes. White stockings are smudged with dark grime, as if the wearer h…

As you do, your foot slips on the floor. Someone has spilled some liquid. It's too bad the bathrooms are so far away, close to the fire; maybe they could have been of some use, if you'd have been able to reach them.

You reach out to the wooden door, and f…

You feel a tad safer now, even though you're higher off the ground. Fire is frightening!

You turn to the right and check out that crosswise hallway. You notice that the big classroom's door is open, but seemingly without any lights on. The doors opposite …

Not daring to head down any of the halls, you feel safer in the dead center of the square. There's no ceiling here, so there's nothing that is likely to fall down upon you, and the water might provide some protection, as well. You take a seat on one of th…

You realize that nobody knows you're in the building, and that if the doors are still locked, they might have to be broken down before the firefighters can put the fire out. You put yourself at a safe distance from the doors and wait. Soon the sound of br…

You press your face against the glass of the door, obviously NOT one that is on fire, and try to see if the fire truck is here.

You can't see much, but evidently, the truck is indeed here.

You realize this when the glass door smashes open suddenly, dest…

Elated, you approach the area near the entrance, which appears much safer than it was several minutes ago.

You can still not see too well due to the smoke that remains. You can go to the door to see better, or head back to the center of the open-air s…

Reaching the line of fire in the hallway, you prepare to toss the water onto the flames. As you do, you smell the odor of gasoline, which you had failed to notice before, probably because you were too frightened.

You fling the contents of the bucket on t…

The bucket's heavier than you thought. You fall off the stone bridge into the water, banging yourself up. However, now you're wet and still moderately uninjured. Maybe the water will keep you a bit safer. You resist the urge to snicker at your mishap as y…

You move over to the faucet on the wall, casting about for the little key-like tool that would allow you to start the water flowing. But try as you might, it's not around, evidently; probably the janitor keeps it on her person.

However, you gaze at the ko…

The fire is simply raging too hard for you to really get to the chairperson's office. You don't see any signs of life down there, anyway. As you gaze down the hall, you hear a huge crash and the whole stair area opposite the hall from the chair's office c…

You leap back over the fire, singeing yourself a bit on the flames, but still, alive and not badly hurt. Skirting against the walls, you avoid the line of fire that leads towards the front of the building, past the chairperson's office.

You reach the op…

The door opens a couple of inches, then stops. A motion detector must have noticed your efforts, because a light comes on in the doorway outside.

To your shock, there is someone's body blocking the exit from outside! You could not see them before.

Well,…

Taking your hanky in hand as if it were a potholder, you push against the handbar more carefully. The door resists.

You reach out with your hands, ready to shove against the pushbar.

Yowtch!! It is burning hot.

You'd better get your handkerchief or something before trying that again.

Taking your heart in your hands, you leap over the line of fire. You're right up against the doors, but not yet touching them. They are glass, with a frame of metal, and there is a pushbar that is also made of metal.

You can feel the heat rising up the stairwell as you go down to the landing. With trepidation, you turn to face the first floor's back hallway, and it is quite a sight. The floor itself seems to be on fire! What's more, it seems to be following a pattern,…

You retreat from the flames, hoping that you'll find some better exit elsewhere. It sure is hot here!

Wiping sweat from your brow, you take a look around. You realize that the stairs are clear, but you can see flames reflected in the mirror on the landin…

This small carpet has tassels on both short ends. The letters HHU are woven into the fabric in white and blue. It is fairly thick and has a rubber mat underneath the cloth, for the purpose of avoiding slippage. At the moment, you have no special reason to…

You move nervously away from the stairwell, keeping your eyes and ears open. The hallway seems to be growing longer and longer, the more you move forward.

Once you trip over a small rug that serves as a welcome mat before the Language Center entrance. …

There's a side hallway ahead and to the right, leading to classrooms.

There's a set of stairs on the far end of the hall, opposite the classrooms hallway, leading both up and down.

You can see a fire extinguisher hanging on the wall, and several …

You strike the window with your hand, but the only effects are a dull noise and a pain in your hand. You try again with your elbow, but no joy. You'd better go over to the stairwell.

You walk up to the large picture window. You can see the big clock from here. The time reads 11:45. It's dark; nobody is out there, which is rather surprising, considering that the smoke is visible from the window where you are. Your feet feel hot and you…

This hallway stretches out on the left and right.

On the left side, the hallway ends soon with a large pane of glass that overlooks the front of the building; it is not blocked by metal bars or anything like that.

On the right, the hallway is longer…

You reach the landing for the second floor. The fire is building up higher. If you stay here, it'll surely reach you soon. But you're not a fool!

You go into the hallway just outside the landing.
