Fire

Nic Robinson wanted to know everything about the sideshow girl. She wanted to know how she got there, what happened to her limbs, what color her eyes were. Nic was overcome with a feeling that she had never felt before. It was as if her face and naeck were on fire and her toungue was about to be swallowed. She needed to relax and gather her thoughts before she did any more exploring, so Nic decided to head back to the old cinema. After walking for a few yards, she realized that she was tearing up. She had been so preoccupied by the precious unfamiliar feeling that she hadn't noticed it until now. Nic looked up toward the entrance of the park and saw the food car engulfed in flames. The air was so smoky that Nic barely opened her eyes. She slowly advanced closer, the flames were spreading. She ran. She wanted to speed through the flames unharmed which was becoming more and more difficult as the dead, straw-colored grass began to ignite. She hurried through the front gate unharmed and proceeded to sprint all the way to the cinema. She couldn't shake the burning feeling on the back of her neck which was also accompanied by a horrible smell. She caught a glimpse of her reflection in the window of the cinema. Her hair. It was on fire. The small flame ate up more and more hair as Nick let out a high-pitched scream, louder than she had ever screamedin her life. "HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" she cried as she tried to smother the flames with her hand which was only making things worse. She suddenly remembered, The Fountain! She rushed down the street to the broken, dirty fountain and without pause dunked her entire head in the filthy water.
