"We can't escape," she said, "We are already huddled together down there, like a herd of wild beasts." Sonia screamed, trying to break away from the burning arms that held her tightly in her sleep. Her screams were mixed with Roland's, who was struggling in vain to get up, choked by the thick black smoke. They shouted for help, but their voices grew fainter, when the fire engines arrived at full speed through the streets filled with curious onlookers. "The tenth floor," the captain said, "it's not easy to save. There's still a north wind. Come up."
