WonHundred Word Wednesday: The flame


Welcome, welcome to WonHundred Word Wednesday! I am loving this challenge and getting to read everyone's stories. It's amazing the different directions these end up going.
Today's prompt: I stared at the flames that had...


It started so small, just a tiny flicker, harmless really. The thought had occurred to extinguish it then, when it was weak, but I resisted. It felt good to keep that tiny spark alive, feeding it faithfully. But then, confident in my control, I let it grow. It spread faster than expected; becoming a roaring inferno I could no longer smother.

Suddenly I realized the heat I felt rose not from the hate burning within, but from the unbridled blaze around me. I stared at the flames that began as a seed of disdain, acknowledging the power of anger unchecked.


Let me know what you think in the comments and be sure to check out everyone else's stories too!
Happy Reading!
