Mum stopped in the middle of the sidewalk just out of the minimarket, and serched for a moment in her bag, trying to find something that evidently wasn't there.

-I forgot the flashlight batteries.- she groaned, displeased.

-But if we were there for a quarter of an hour choosing them!-

-Indeed I think that I forgot them at the checkout.

-Wait for me here a moment while I go get them.-

-But...-

-It'll take me thirty seconds.-

-But it's about to rain.-

-Thirty seconds, I swear.- smiled the woman giving a thumbs up and entering through the automatic doors.

The child graned and turned around to look at the sky, where the rain clouds grumbled, evidently very intent on emptying themselves.

"Mum is always so careless... We'll definitely end up getting soaked.- he thought.

And the moment later, behind him, heard an explosion and when, whit his heart beating a thousand times a second, he turned around, saw, like in slow motion, the entire building collapsing on itself, as the flames blazed up instantly.

Just at that moment the sky rumbled louder and immediately afterwards it started raining heavily.

But it was now too late.

...

Uhm...

Idk...

I tried...

I don't know if it's a good prologue...

But I tried.
