“In Charge”
The wind was in charge that day!
Rodney tried to get the fire under control, but he was no match against the force of the wind. Everything had burnt to a crisp. He was sure Ellie would be furious with him.
Indeed, Ellie was furious! She had planned the back-porch cook-out for weeks.
Everyone stood by while the firemen battled the blaze as they watched their dinner being destroyed.

Wait.
Was that the firemen’s dinner that went up in smoke?
If yes, didn’t anyone tell the, not to play with matches?

Somehow I think Rodney isn’t out of the heat yet! I’m feeling a little sorry for him, being expected to control the weather.

Poor Rodney. I don’t think he could have controlled the wind if he’d tried. Let’s hope Ellie realises that once she calms down, Good story, Jessie.

Thank you, I appreciate your reading and commenting. I had the desire to avoid writing a story on the real horror of a house fire. My in-laws house burnt down years ago. Fortunately, no one in the family was harmed.

Dear Jessie,
First, welcome to Friday Fictioneers.
As for dinner, I think my husband would be happy. He likes his burgers blackened. 😉 Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Hopefully it was just the porch that was damaged and not the whole house.
