"Cause we're the masters of our own fate,
We're the captains of our own souls,
So there's no need for us to hesitate,
We're all alone,
Let's take control,
And I was like,
Take off,
Take off,
Take off all your clothes"
- Lust For Life by Lana Del...

Day Two in Hårga
Twig's body didn't feel like his own.
He couldn't control the way it moved anymore, but he was still forced to stare through the eyes and watch.
And what he was watching was a nightmare of fire and anguish.
Flames licked at the edges of the tent that Twig was huddled in, the inferno gradually creeping closer to his pained body as he attempted to drag his unresponsive legs through the ash and soot on the ground.
Screams rang out from nearby and Twig attempted to call out for help as he managed to shuffle his upper body under a fallen mast of the tent so that he was slightly free, but the space wasn't quite big enough for his hips to fit through.
Not a soul heard his voice over the noise however and so the blonde was forced to wrench his body under the wooden mast until there were two large gashes down the sides of his hips and he was eventually free.
Twig then continued his slow crawl through the wreckage and carnage surrounding him as every now and again he hacked out coughs of the the thick plumes of smoke.
He looked around tiredly as he heaved himself through the thin pathways with tents lit aflame surrounding him on all sides and winced at the bodies which lay motionless, visible only through the open faces of the tents.
Twig then crawled with more vigour but the nightmare of a memory would still inevitably end the way it always did, with a loud crack, and the sight of the smoking entrance sign hurtling right towards him.

Twig jolted up from his bed with a fearful gasp the next morning, which caused a few Härga who had been on their way out of the room to pause and look at him in concern.
He smiled at them and waved them away "I'm ok" he promised, as one of the women translated to the others and so with a nods and warm smiles directed towards him, they all left the room, careful not to wake the other visitors.
