Slow Burn
When I was about eight years old, my mother woke us up late one night and said, "I smell fire. When my mother was a child, her house had burn down not once but twice, making her quick to smell out possible fires. So there my brother, and sister, and I began walking around the house behind my mother, looking for a fire. I finally told myself that there was no fire, so I went back to bed laying my head on my pillow. Not long after I lay down, my mother came back into my room, and said, "I believe that the fire is in this room!", so I got up a second time and followed my mother around. Not long after that my mother picked up my pillow that I had been laying on, and the underside of my pillow was on fire! We never did figure out how my pillow caught on fire that night. However, there was a coil heater that ran around the bottom walls of my bedroom. My mother guessed that the pillow had fallen off the bed during the night, and caught on fire. Then, I picked it up while sleeping, without realizing it, and put my head on the side that wasn't burning. I'm so glad that my mother had a sensitive nose, and we escaped this mysterious fire without mishap.
