Flaming Oranges!

“Woah, why is an orange on fire?” A tall pale nurse asked, her eyes wide in fright. She stomped out the orange, pursing her lips tightly. Luckily, her lack of high heels prevented any injury on her part. She wasn’t like most nurses. Dressed in scrubs, with her pale blond hair pulled back into a tight bun, she didn’t look attractive.

Having a bad experience with dating and men in general, she was pretty much asexual now. Of course, that didn’t stop men from hitting on her and making passes. She noticed a small row of ambulances on the street, each one’s lights shining brightly. All were consecutively turning towards the hospital.

“Oh no…” Running inside, she began sounding the alarm to let the doctors and the ER know. The first of the large white vehicles was parked outside the door, the orderlies inside frantically pushing the victim inside. He looked blackened and burned, apparently there was a fire in an apartment building. Most of the people had been trapped inside, and consequentially burned.
