Fire. One of man's greatest discoveries. Yet it has been one of our greatest downfalls. Strange I really enjoyed fire before the house fire. You would think a firefighter would be the least likely guy in the world to have his house burn down. Guess thats what happens when you have a vengeful ex-wife. She came round back and I didn't see it coming. One minute she's in my backyard and were having a drink. The next the back of my head is killing me and I'm in a hell on earth. Lucky I escaped. I haven't heard any word on the whereabouts of my ex. Frankly, I don't even care. Hating her and seeking revenge won't return what I've lost. Which is basically everything except, my beat up 92' Explorer and everything in there. My tools,some food,and water. Water. Life-giving. Not giving me much. Wish I had some of the stuff when I was back in my house. Fire. Water. Great stuff. 2007-06-30T00:11:30Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/4524 <p>good one. i liked the sombre tone it started with. nice.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/4524?basename=3803 2007-06-30T00:11:30Z khepa http://ficlets.com/authors/khepa <p>Great work, I love the plot of this story.
