“You like fire, boy?”
Startled you turn to look at the man standing next to you and are surprised to see he’s a firefighter. The firetruck is pulled up to the curb, blocking the small crowd from getting too close. Nothing to be done except maybe control the spread. The house is going to burn to the ground. It’s vacant, no harm maybe.
You watch the flames lick against and consume what’s left of wood and structure, turning everything to black and crumbling to ash. Fire takes favorites, devouring quickly across some edges and more slowly with others. You breathe that in.
“You best get on the other side of it,” the man says to you. His side. Makes you wonder about the possibility. He sees something in the way you watch the heat, the light, the kiss against everything the flames touch. “The side you’re on, ain’t going to bring you to good end.”
