Fire

Okay, here's the deal. Fire is an amazing substance. In can be good or bad, friend or foe. It can cleanse or kill, or provide heat and light when they are absent. I want you to write a story about fire. You can choose any aspect of fire to explore, but it must be the subject of the Ficly. Having a discussion around a campfire or the likes won't do it. So give it your best shot. I'd be interested in what people come up with, because this may not be as easy as you might think. Good Luck!
