There was no saving them from the plague that befell us. There was no cure and no way back. As we watched the mansion being consumed in the flames, the realization of our grim reality became apparent. Everyone we loved, and everything we were taught to believe died in the horrible blaze. Many days and nights we prayed that God would deliver us from this nightmare, but alas, there was no God to deliver us; no Angels of grace to protect us; We were on our own to face our own sins. The plague had to die, no matter what the cost.
