TW- fire

She ran.

She ignored the tears and

Focused on the line where the dark sky meets the land.

There was nothing else for her to think about other than the burning in her lungs. 

Her feet slapped the concrete as her hair stuck to her forehead.

The light behind her dimed.

She stopped and turned around.

Her eyes hungrily lapped up the sight of the roaring flames.

They consumed everything she ever knew.

She watched as fire consumed her loved ones and her home.

Her arms were dropped down at her sides.

The box of matches in her hand laughed at their destruction.

The smell of gasoline clogged her senses.

She grinned.

At last.







for a fun surprise read it backwards.
