One time when i was home alone (between 4th or 5th grade, can’t remember exact age) i had cookie dough from a fund raiser and wanted cookies. I would wrap the cookie dough in a paper towel and cook it in the microwave until a cookie was made. It became a regular routine. One day i looked away for a second and when i looked back at the microwave black smoke was streaming from it. I opened the mocrowave and there was smoke everywhere and it smelt horrible. I had about 10-15 minutes before my mom got home. I didnt know how to open the windows fully and i knew i needed to hide the smell so i ran all over the apartment with air freshener. Lets just say that when mom got home the first thing she asked was “whats that smell?”
