• i fill the cool gray stone bowl with bug spray. i take a lighter and i light it.
    the bowl stays light for hours entertaining me for hours. then the phone rang scaring me and making me drop the bowl on the wooden floors.
    when i realized what had happened it was to late. i was on my back laying on the floor. then after a minute i realized i was on fire.
    i ran for the garage to get the hose. for sum strange reason it was open.
    when i looked out i saw the love of my life staring at me. her jaw was just hanging there. and then i felt the heat of the flames that spread quicker than i had thought. "oh s**t! there is a propane tank! it is going to explode!"someone screamed. i turned around just as it exploded. the few minutes before i thought i died for the last time i remembered the love of my life running for me and me trying to say run, but she never heard me. i felt cold despite the heat. i felt clam for once. it seemed inviting to just give up lay down and do nothing. then she got to me. i looked to see the other propane tank about to explode and i covered her so i would die for sure and she would have some chance to live. those few seconds felt like a life time to me. when i heard it and felt the explosion i was relived and horrified. relived she was fine. horrified because there was something going through my chest. a pipe so hot that it was that redish orange color. i didnt cry though for only three reasons. one i didnt wanna look like a wimp to her. two i cryed my last tears years before when my dad beat me every day for hours and he enjoyed it. all he ever gave me were scars. scars in my mouth. scars on my back. gave me scars for my birthday. the third reason i didnt cry was i was happpy. not happy in one of those crazy messed in the head ways. happy in the finaly this has happened to me ways. it was so calm. i was finally at peace or so i thought at the time. as everything was fadin away from me i heard her scream sumthing ta me. i could hear her though. after i did hear her i started fightin death. i dont no y though. could have and should have just laid down and died. would have saved me from the mess that i got into. she screamed "dont die! i luv u! iv been so scared to tell u all these years but i love you! please dont die! pleas-". i felt sumthing that made me pick her up and jump out of the garage. if i hadnt we both would have died right then and there. it was another explosion. only this one was different. this one was forced by sumthing. i laid her down on the ground and was about to lay down and wait for help when a black figure materialized infront of me. it slashed at me with it claws and i went flyin into the air. the figure disappeared and reappeared behind me and slashed at me with its claws again sendin me goin the other way . back and forth back and forth. finally it stopped and sumthin happened to it. it started shrieking wailing at some unheard sound. thats when i realized something was very very wrong. there was nothing to be heard. nothin at all except its shrieking. there were no bird chirping. then as fast as it took me to realize there was no sound i could hear again.the black figure stopped and stared at me. and then it said "im disappointed son you should have killed that pathetic excuse of a kidnapping father come with me and u will once again be with the one u luved so long ago" all i could think to say back was "i no im not his son" pointing to my dad and when he saw me point to him he let out a wimper of fear "and i sure as hell aint ur son so piss off. o and another thing u dof i love her" and pointed to Denai. the thing said "u love an insect u r clearly misguided" "the girl u call an insect has a name and her name is Denai and at lest she has a name besides freak"i yelled back. the black thing started losin its blackness and when the black was all gone it looked human. i knew it wasnt. "son u leave me no choice i will have to take u with me and heal u so u can once again be the strongest of our kinda" i started walkin towards me. all this rage started building up and i charge at the thing with such rage nothin could stop me. i started punchin the thing and i was so fast not even it could block. i kicked him in the stomach then went low and swiped my legs and as he was fallin to the ground i circled my legs around again and pushed up with me arms usin my body as a bullet. finally after all that i stopped my self cuz i realized my hands were black and so were my legs. it almost looked to be made out of shadow.
