Disaster in the Dorm

No matter how hard Hespa tried, Business Studies completely defeated her. She shunned party invitations galore, ignored phone calls, just to cram in as much studying as she could.

So, it was with trepidation that she went to the first part of her final exams.

She tanked ... big time.
Maybe the second part will be a bit better?

Gutted, she decided to retreat to the dorm to maybe grab a snack ... and cram some more before the next session.

She didn't get far when she saw smoke billowing from the vicinity of the dorm's kitchen area. Grabbing her phone, she dialled the fire service.

"Just hold on, we'll be there as soon as we can."

She ignored them as she saw the flames getting bigger and bigger.

Grabbing a fire extinguisher, she ran full pelt into the midst of the fire and started putting it out.

But exhaustion got the better of her, and she tried to step away from the flames.

"Gosh, I'm so tired," she exclaimed, "need coffee ... lots of coffee. Can't miss this last exam."

Too late.

There was an almighty fireball that engulfed her and another student, as everyone else hopped up and down and screamed, helpless to save either of them.

How did I know that Hespa had died?

A single red plumbob, just dangling in the air ... and no Sim below it.

Just a little pile of ashes.

Even the poor firefighter couldn't save either of them, the fire was far too intense. He even suggested letting it burn itself out.

By now, it was too late.

When Grimmy arrived, two students were passed out cold on the floor. He was rather bemused at this.

I'm here to harvest souls ... exactly HOW many are there?

The plantSim was too concerned about his leaves being scorched to worry about who had died.

Asshole.

The one that started the fire ... HA - just desserts I tell ya ... was the first one to die, and the first one to have her soul harvested as everyone watched. Yep, she begged for her life, but Grimmy turned a deaf ear and told her straight that she shouldn't have been playing with fire in the first place.

And then it was Hespa's turn.

She partially begged, but decided that it was easier to just go with the flow. Apart from her family back home ... she'd just about had enough of life. She sucked at pretty much everything really.

It was time to say goodbye.

Farewell Hespa, we will miss you with your gorgeous blue/purple hair and sweet disposition. Nessa is going to be devastated.
