Day 14
burned
I could recall my brother's embrace and his heavy breaths. I recall hearing my mother's screams and my sister's sobs as she tried to keep up. I did my best to not stare at the roaring flames but I couldn't look away.
The flames called for me. Something about their warm embrace and what came after calling my name. Perhaps a warning to my fate of becoming the vessel of death? One could not be so certain.
