Fire

I can't take it anymore

Not another damn second of it

I literally feel like I'm burning

Stuck in an inferno

That is inextinguishable whether

By a single tear or a drop of blood

From which the fire springs forth

And as the timbers and roof

Coming crashing down around me

I see a way to escape

Down an emblazoned hallway

I throw my eyes to the charred

Smoke and ember smothered door


I take off running

My feet digging into the floor

And being charred at the soles

Timbers falling and hitting me

Setting my clothes ablaze

I can feel and smell my skin and hair

Being seared off my body

But I keep running

Without a care in the world

Except making it to that door

Whether you'll be on the other side

I don't know

Whether I'll make it in time

I don't know


 With my shoulder making way

I burst through the door

The wood splintering around me

Ash and blackened crumbs engulfing me

My blistered feet hitting the concrete of the porch

The shattered door tumbling down the steps

Me standing there an ashy and burned riddled mess

I look down to where the door lays and see you

Standing just a little ways beyond it

I peer back over my shoulder

A feeling of uncaring dread washes over me

I see a large fireball rushing for me

And with no time to react I become engulfed


I feel as if I'd been dropped in Antarctic waters

The heat was so great I felt like I was freezing

I felt my body sizzling as my arms flailed

My body falling to wretched pieces as I drop to my knees

The rest of me hitting the ground first my chest

Then my head following soon after

And my last sight was of you

With shock and utter horror stricken across your face

Your hand clutching your mouth shrieking

And the flickering glow of the burning house

Dancing on your body

I watch as you fall to your knees

Then finally I'm extinguished


I awake in a room the floor and walls

Painted bright shining white almost a metallic look

I turn and see the fourth and final wall is mist

And through it I see a black figure but as it got closer

I saw that it was a girl dressed in black

Her hair was black and her entire body painted in black

Except for her eyes were a piercing bright orange

She held out her hand to me

I reach out and place my hand on hers

Gently wrapping my fingers around her hand

And hers around mine

She gives a quick jolting pull as she leads me along

Into the mist and as we enter I feel a coolness around me

Like a spring morning with the smell of flowers and grass

Washing over me and with the consistent pull of her hand

We disappeared never to come out again
