A Softer Drabble
This was done a year or so ago when I was heavily under the influence of both "A Softer World" comics and the "Everything is Illuminated" movie.
Short. Worksafe. PG 13 for arson and poisoning by fireworks and nearly dying.
I remember when I was little, I would set things on fire. Little things, like sticks, and leaves, and toilet paper, and Mother's old perfumes. I loved fire. It just had so much appea.
My pyromania only got out of control once and that was when I realized: as much as I enjoy fire, I hate watching things burn.
After that epiphany I started to chew on fireworks to see if I could set myself on fire from the inside out. I wanted to burn myself away until the only thing left was illumination.
A year after I started that I almost died in the ICU from chemical poisoning.
