"I was at my work but it was also my grandmas house and there was a fire drill. It was a regular may 1st for drill so i knew it wasn't real. I didn't want to join in the fire drill because i wanted to keep working so I decided to hide under a couch. When I looked under the couch my brother was already hidden there. I disturbed his spot so I re camouflaged him but before I could I heard my mom and aunt coming who were the ones checking if everyone was out. So I ran to another room and carefully closed the door so they wouldn't hear it and hid there under a footrest. Just as I got under they came in. I wasn't sure I was hidden enough and they were checking around the room. I woke up"
