Suddenly, I started to feel sweat melting down my face, I was feeling that I was being fried up on barbeque stand!

Before I become a full fried barbeque meal, I went inside my house, turned on the Air Conditioning and started to play games on my device. Just then, something terrifying happened my mom “ Anna” came barging in the living room and said “ NO devices, go play outside”

But for some reason, she thought I was making this whole story up. My mom thought I went to go play video games at my friend’s house.
