Ash

Being burned at the stake can't be that bad

I mean, I'm going through it right now

I can feel my body blister as the fire travels up to my knees

It hurts

But it's freeing

I can't surrender

Not at this rate

The flame licks my neck as I tell them all

"You will pay for this"

I laugh hysterically until I am forced to surrender

My body crumbles

To cold

Dark

Ash
