The Long Tale No. 10 - Dancing Inferno

The ground was dappled with light from the fire. Shadows danced with sparks to the wooden beat of their forebear's destruction. The heat was intense and the man felt his hair singe. Red and orange, green and yellow, black and white - the fire portrayed each colour as emotion. The fierceness of the flames and slow burning of embers. The growing inferno and dying ash lay in harmony and fed off of each other. A pillar of smoke reached for the sky and brought attention to the warmth. A stream of water fell upon it and it was gone. Extinguished.
