My Life is a Toaster Fire
Josie
I WILLED myself not to freak out. Deep breaths in through the nose, out
through the mouth.
Who was I kidding?
Right there, in the middle of my dadâs kitchen while still in my pajamas,
I did the running man, the cabbage patch, and threw in a few butterflies for
good measure. Iâd hit a quarter of a million subscribers, and the views were
still pouring in from the video Iâd posted last night. It had been so crazy that
Iâd only slept a few hours because I was excessively watching the
comments section and my numbers grow.
Sarah Swoon and her trusty sidekicks, Patricia Pearl and Eggplant Earl,
were set to take the world by storm. I was both excited and terrified, but
what really scared me was the shrill wail of the smoke alarm.
I fumbled my phone, nearly dropping it as I spun around to a flaming
toaster. âShit, shit, shit!â I yanked the plug as small flames shot out of the
top, and the acrid burning smell finally hit my nose.
How did a device high up on the ceiling know that something was on
fire before my nostrils did?
âJosie!â my dad yelled from downstairs. âAre you okay?â
âFine!â I certainly wasnât fine; my Pop-Tarts were on fire.
I flung open the cabinet under the sink and grabbed the fire extinguisher
my dad kept there. Thank fuck Iâd done a video project teaching kids how
to use a fire extinguisher for one of my assignments, because otherwise, I
wouldnât have a clue how to use one.
I pulled the pin and sprayed the death box in sweeping motions, angling
it so it would get inside the slots.
âJesus Christ, Jo!â My dadâs frantic voice came from behind me, and
that was perhaps more frightening than the smoldering toaster in front of
me.
Yet another disappointment to add to the pile.
I put the fire extinguisher down and opened the window over the sink
before opening the large sliding glass door that led to the patio. The early
morning ocean breeze wafted in, making me shiver.
My dad was fanning the smoke detector with a kitchen towel, sweaty
from his morning workout. âGet me a pillow from the couch!â
I rushed into the living room, grabbed one of the throw pillows, and
flung it to him. I was far off target, but he caught it by the corner, like he
was catching a puck about to go into the net. If I hadnât almost burned down
the house, I would have called him a showoff.
Fanning with the pillow did the trick and the beeping stopped, but my
ears were still ringing. âAt least we know the smoke detectors work. Itâs
always good to check them once in a while.â
He tossed the pillow out of the kitchen and put his hands on his hips, his
chest heaving. âWhat the hell happened?â
I shrugged and stood on my tiptoes, trying to peek into the toaster
without getting too close. âDamn it, those were the last two Pop-Tarts. I
should have eaten them cold.â
