Toxic
May 19, 2010It was one normal summer afternoon. It was around 5 PM, temperature is still as hot as it could be. I went home to drop my bag then left again to buy some stuff. As I have cleared the curve, I saw thick smoke about a hundred meters ahead of me. My eyes followed where it was coming from. The smoke was quite unusual, it was like “heavy smoke” It doesn’t seem to rise into the atmosphere, rather it goes back to the ground. I could see the road behind it. I have to get through it though. And I did.
I th
ought with smoke as thick as that I should be able to see the fire that caused it. I looked into where its coming from. I can’t see the fire… only thick smoke. I decided to go take a closer look but the smoke is so iritating to both my eyes and nose. I decided to drop by the fire station and see if they have dispatched already a unit to deal with this. When I got there, Mr. Barredo was there and I talked to him. He said they have dispatched already a unit.
I went to my brother’s house. There I started to feel a little trouble in breathing, I started to feel dizzy. I think the smoke was more toxic that I have thought. As we talked I felt it’s a bit becoming harder to breathe. I asked my brother if has has an inhaler since he’s an asthmatic. I had a puff and I started to feel better.
Just a note: Please don’t burn your garbage!
