Narrative

I just got in my car and got on interstate no I turned on the heated seat cause I was alittle chilly and about 10 mins later I smelled something and smelled like burning plastic and yep sure was whole back of seat was in flames and I almost wrecked trying to get to side of the road and I started patting it and I finally found some water and dumped it on it and my hands had plastic melted all over it and now I have blisters and big whole in back of seat and honestly scared to death to even drive!
