Fire lives. It breathes, It needs oxygen to continue to consume.Fire followed Daniel all of his life, taking from him everything he loved, everything he lived for.Now it's come for him.Can he beat it? Can the fire be killed?Fire is mesmerizing and terrifying.The flickering flames are warm and welcoming, until you touch them.The man in the fire is impervious to the burning touch and relentless in his pursuit of Daniel.How could you fight something like that?That's what I kept thinking as I read this story.The answer is breathtaking, just like the fire. Sucking your breathe out of your body and shocking your senses.The story starts at the final confrontation and gives you the back story as you read along.I felt for Daniel and if I was in his shoes, I would probably do what he did.For such a short story, I did a lot of thinking. That's a sign of good writing. Taking something implausible and making you believe it, feel it, and contemplate it.Well done, Brian.
