Chapter 97 (1/2)

The flickering flames quickly burned up the building I could say was my mistaken symbol.

After angrily cutting down over 30 low lifes among the humid lumber that was burning, it all crackled and everything was burning from a bright red into an ashen black.

The angry slashing about that stemmed from my chaotic heart had now calmed into silence that made it all seem like a joke, but, I just kept thinking the same thing over and over.

Nothing about this is really a big deal.

There were many things like this in the world if you just looked around.
