The twelve shot firecracker has been in my room since last year's new year celebration (we were not allowed to light firecrackers/bangers/ knockouts last year due to the bk boys menace). I saved it for today. Immediately it was 00:00 i went out to the balcony to light it up. (the second floor.) I dont know what happened next. The shots were supposed to go up to the sky, but they didnt. The first and second shots just blew up right in my hand almost blistering my fingers. I had to let go. The cracker landed on the ground below and the mayhem began. All i heard were faint but frightening shrieks and screams (I was almost 'deafened' by the first two shots. This morning i just woke up. I can hear clearly but i'm scared to go down stairs. I still dont know what happened downstairs. They came looking for me last night but i was too afraid to open the door. I never should've lighted that firecracker!
