//TW for INCREDIBLY HEAVY THEMES of Family/Religious Cults, Manipulation, and Paranoia
The boy stands proudly on the pyre. The group around him chatting, laughing, looking at him with admiration. This is his special day. He’s got on his best, and he hugs his friends and family tight one last time before he is to become a man. He is led by his father to the top of the pyre, beaming with pride. His father looks him in the eye, straightening the boys collar and saying words he’s wanted to hear all his life.
“We are so, so proud of you”
His father steps down, holding his mother’s hand. And the pyre is lit. The flames climb towards the boy, who welcomes them. They hurt. They claw at his skin and he cannot move. Why isn’t someone coming up to get him? They’re cheering, congratulating him. Dropping their drinks of the fire so it burns ever brighter. It hurts so badly. Why isn’t someone coming to get him?
He cries out, he knows he’s not supposed to but how can he when he is dying. He wasn’t supposed to die! He was supposed to be set alight and led down to congratulations like all the others! Why is no one coming to get him?
All at once, everything goes dark. The heat fades. And he is nothing.
