"Dinx don't touch that" my mother voiced, hanging out my hand over the burning hot stove she was cooking on. I was only six then and my fascination with fire was always a concern, But now a mere fascination- is now my curse.  The sizzling sensation enlightened my skin in a distance harmony, The cackling nose I was so fascinated in watching as a candle burned in the distance.
