Eric Naylor “The Fall of Icarus” The story of Icarus explains his attempt to escape from Crete by using wings that his father created from feathers and wax.

A fire accident I witness That eventful day I could still remember that it was at 6.50am just as I about to leave my house to school I heard siren growls and blares‚ and engine howls - with red light snap on - its way passing my house. Lazy smoke curls out the second story of a commercial block. The engine pulls up and the firemen are jumping off like ship rats.
