Results

I saw... the fire emerge and disappear. It was bright red and yellowy orange. It went straight up and dissipated when I put my hands out.

I heard... other people being loud and somehow the sound of the fire getting burned.

I smelt...the heat from the fire. It smelt burnt and gassy. Even when the fire went away the smell remained.

I felt... excited and nervous. My heart was beating so fast. It was great and so much fun.
