Just a warning before you start this book! There will be torture, death, SH, and very strong language, and a few other triggering things that could happen. I do not advise reading this is any of this upsets or triggers you in anyway! It will be talked about through out the entire book! So this is your trigger warning for the whole book! Other than that, enjoy reading.





My dream is to watch the world go into flames. To see the bright embers flying into the air all around me. The smell floating off into the world and filling your senses. I am what the FBI would call an arsonist...

I sat at the edge of the river watching the fire I sat go higher into the sky. The cigarette i lit with the fire was hanging out of my mouth. I heard a large snap of a twig behind me and i quickly put the flames out and threw my cigarette into the river.

Turning on my heals to look into the woods. The smell of the fire doesnt fade, its still strong in the air. I start to walk twords the sound of the snap. The treeline i started to walk towrds had bushes at the edge of it. One of them restling back and forth.

As I got closer to the bush the restling startes to fade and a small growl could be heard. I grabed a big branch that had fallen off of a near-by tree to protect myself with. I poked at the bush pushing my breanch in and out of it. Whatever had made the growling sound jumped out of the bushes growling. I look at it for a second and relizes it was just a cat and her babies.

I sighed in content knowing it wasnt a person who saw me set the fire. I once was out here by this same river and lit a small fire a few days ago. This women had saw me set the fire and called the cops on me. The cops came and i barely escaped them. But thats a story for a different time.

I return back to the spot i was sitting. The charded remains of what once was my fire had made a small black circle. I layed back onto my back looking up at the sky and thought to myself. "Why is setting fires so fun and excilirating!"

My mind satrted to run thinking about everything that was yet to come. Thinking about how one day i will get my dream and set this whole world on fire and watch it burn. My thoughts flew 100 miles per hour. One exhillirating thing to the next, over and over again. 

The smell of burning parper in the air smelled really nice. The smell was quickly fading off and the normal smell of the river and the trees started come back. I sat back up and smiled to myself then got up from my spot once again to gather small sticks and leaves. Once i gathered all of my things i came back down to the small river.

My feet moved so effortlessly down the hill. My mind raced as I get closer and closer to the river bed. Once i reach the side of the river bed i sit down quickly and starts to build a small t-pee out of sticks and a small peice of paper and some dead leaves under the t-pee. I took out my lighter and lit the small piece of paper. It quickly went up into falmes. I threw it down quickly onto my dead leaves and branches.

It had a small slow burn but then quickly engoulfed the leaves and the twigs. I add more twigs and watch the fire grow in anticipation. The more it grew the happier i got. The smell of fire was now in the air again. Stronger than ever. The smell started to drift into the woods making fire the only thing you can smell.

I started to add bigger branches into the fire. The fire was slow moving to catch the other thing on fire. I watch it get high and higher into the sky. I finally sat down amd watched my fire burn. I sat down on the dry grass hugging my knees. The smell starts to fill my sense again. I dont know what it is about fire but i love it. I love the warth the smell and what it leaves behind. It leaves behind nothing. Nothing at all. I start talking to myself out loud ranting.

"Everything in its path ways gets destroyed. Nothing... Nothing is left behind and nothing every will be. Fire is a destroyer of worlds and the next world to go down will be ours as we know it. This once beautiful green planet will turn into ash and dust that humans can no longer exsist on it. This will all happen by the touch of my hand. The fire will grow bigger than ever before. Reaching the sky as it burns more and more. The more i think about it the more i want to do it. I want to make my dream come true and set this world on fire. Ill watch from my sky scraper the world going into flames. Dieing in flames is so peaceful. You get to accept that your diying before you know it. Yes youll be in pain but thats how it always works. You in pain feeling something that Ive felt my whole life! Pain that will never go away!"

Flashback 5 years

I sat in the cold dark room, no light shinning through no sun to keep me warm. Just the cold hard concrete that sat beneath me. My hands are torn to shreddes. Ive sat there for countless hours punching and beating at what I can only guess are the walls.

I've been trapped in here. I don't know how long I have been in here but long enough to know, that there is no way out. I haven't been fed in days. Maybe that was my punishment for going against them? But who is them.

The large, heavy, creaky door swings open with a loud bang as it hits the wall. A tall langthy figure comes into view with a bright light shinning right behind him. I clench my fists as hard as I can trying to calm myself but I can't...

"Why the hell am I here!" I shot as loud as I can. "I want some answers and I want them now!"

"Now, now, if I tell you why you were here you would just want to fight and scream some more, but its no use. I've brought you here for some... How should I put this lightly?" He pondered out loud before placing his hand on his chin. His voice was deep and gruff, but yet sounded so smooth.

"For human experiments" He finally said after a moment.
