Dazed, I might be, yes. But there was definitely a striking difference, between the wild flames that framed my face daily, and the bonfire of orange, yellow and white that I was currently engulfed in.

I could feel a burning sensation in my head, from what I presume to be the aftermath of concussion. However, my attention was quickly diverted to the hellish inferno of agony, licking at my toes and heels. Dancing around my feet, where curled flames, sending surges of unfathomable amounts of pain around my body. Instincts make you bounce backward the second your skin comes into contact with the verminous heat. But I couldn't.

My head started to clear, but still, no matter how hard I tried, I could not move, not even to shift my toes from the possibly, real fire. Hazy memories of the recent past were swirling around, and around in my soar head. Mostly consisting of blurred faces and slurred words. Memory-loss was new to me. I had this photographic memory, that aloud me to never forget a word from your mouth, or line from the textbook. (Hence I'm in top set.

I mean was...)

I started to list the facts I knew:

I was currently in a fire

Trapped in chains

In the abandoned barn

Abandoned, and in the middle of nowhere. No one to hear my screams. No one to see the smoke.

I couldn't get out

It wasn't my fault

Wait yes it was...

It was my fault

He knew

Jasper knew.

Jasper, my best friend since I was 5, the person who knew me better than me, knew.

Definitely my fault

He knew. He got angry. He did this

I deserved this

I've deserved this for a while

One last fact:

I'm about to die
