Smoke smells different when it’s your own belongings burning.

It’s acidic too many chemicals mixed together like there was a mistake in the lab and an explosion is bubbling.

The fog sits on your tongue and you can try to cough it out

You’ll try to reach your phone to call for help but the screen sears onto your skin.

Finally when you open your eyes to find an exit
