Flames in my heart
I started “I have powers, and I can light fires. I haven’t learned how to control it yet.”
For a while Ben just started blankly at me. I am not sure if he believed me or thought I was a nut case.
“Really?” He said finally.
He was hard to read.
“Yes, it’s why I am out here.” I continued “I am dangerous, and I have to stay away from others.”
“You don’t look very dangerous to me” he said.
“Well, that fire was caused by me and that was dangerous” I said, “do you believe me?”
