As the fire grew hungry before my eyes, my hand lay outstretched above me, gripping the flag of the rebellion. It danced in the smoke; the smoke of my enemies. Miscellaneous shadows flashed in the flames of those who once were, flaunting its ignorance and pride with shades of orange and yellow. Apocalyptic screams echoed throughout the darkness and my ego laughed with satisfaction. 'Don't be so facetious' I thought, as I wiped the sweat from my brow, tears forming in my lackluster eyes.

The audience bowed their heads with respect and plea, for they knew we had won the war. Hell, even the trees were retreating into their forest. Fear in their hearts, fear that I inflicted.

But what do I care, I have the whole world under my feet now.

I think back to my family, those lowlives I called my heroes. The pain caused being thrown into the fire under my nose. Devastation by revenge, revenge by past.

Mamma always said never to fight fire with fire,

But she ain't say a word about gasoline.
