A blast of heat knocks me forward, throwing us into the dirt. Fire laughs behind me as I'm hit with a realization. It’s a heavy and suffocating feeling. My family is really gone. I move onto my knees, turning to see…although I don’t know what I’m looking for. My chest heaves, my face drenched with sweat. I watch as my fucking life burns. My friends. My cousin. My nephew. I close my eyes and hear a sound, something like a hurt animal, alone and dying. Turns out, it’s a wail that’s ripped out of me, raw and broken. They’re gone. All of them. And I couldn’t save a single one.
oh villian 😢
