Accident

The day the neighbours burned down their house, we purchased the 'rustbucked'. Some would say that it was just a coincidence but they certainly were not familiar with our family. No one knew of course that it was Chris who started it all. He had just switched from experiments with water to his new challenge experiments with fire. He had started it slow with some tiny fireballs made from matches. However, everyone in our family knew that this force was unstoppable no matter what we said or did. So, when Chris set his first match on fire, our father opened the site for used goods and began to search for portable housing. The closest for the price we could allow was the aforementioned 'rustbucked'. None of us, however, could have imagined that it would not be our house that would burn down. It involved an accident, a stray cat and some bad timing and as a result, our neighbours are now closer to us than we expected it would be when we moved into this neighbourhood.
