My bed DID actualy catch fire when I was still in primary school...
Lol it was a Friday the 13th too....
Now listen to this part... I only semi-woke and thought the cats were lying on my legs as I was a little hot... turns out the bed was smoldering allready....
My mom in the meantime was haveing nightmares over the appartheid riots of the time...and dreamt of someone throwing a petrol bomb... she whoke up from the dream, but the smell was still there....
So she came to investigate... by this time I was fucking so drugged from the poisonous gas comming off the smoldering matress and blankets I got up had a pee, got back into bed... my mom burst into the room shortly and saw what was happening... She woke my dad, and together they folded the whole matress double and pushed it out the window....
So, I went to sleep between mom and dad, a few hours later I woke up again... there was this bright orange light in the house... Now my dad (R.I.P.), was a difficult guy to wake up, but when I said i think its burning, he flew out of bed like a bat out of hell. Yep, the whole thing lit up and flames were burning higher than the roof.... we had to kill the fire with buckets, as the outside tap and garden hose....is under my window....
The next morning I was so fucked form the gas I put two pairs of underwear on....
This story could have had a very bad ending...
