The situation
You're allowed to make yourself a snack, and you've left a pan heating a bit too long. When you turn back, the oil in it has burst into flames, licking up toward the cupboard. Your first instinct is to grab a glass of water and throw it on — that's what you do with fire, right? Another part of you, in the panic, suddenly isn't sure that's right at all. The flames are growing.
