your week off in the best way.
Remember
let your imagination soar when you read.

What to
do? What to do? Red, orange flames flowed from the ground. Not like any fire
he’d ever saw. Nope. There was no smoke to choke you or make your eyes sting.
There was only heat and it crept towards him, no one else. It consumed nothing,
not even the browning grass under it. The strange flame had its non-existing
eye set on him.
“Move,
Theo.”
Theo
whipped his head towards Sal, the one friend he had since first grade. What was
Sal doing there? He couldn’t let his best bud come to his rescue. The flame was
deadest on his target and that wasn’t Sal. Sal needed to remain far from the
sitatuion at hand.
“Get out
of here.”
Theo
darted to his left, taking the trail behind him. He knew it well. Should, he
ran it four times a day. Who would’ve known a steady routine of jogging would
truly save his life one day. The unusual fire did just like Theo expected,
followed. Problem was, faster he ran the closer the fire seemed to get.
“What
now?” He asked himself, but got an answer from Sal.
“You let
me do my job.”
“What
the . . .” Theo stumbled, landing hard on his hands. “Where did you come . . .”
“Not
now.” Sal stepped in front of him and lifted his hands, chanting in some
strange language. Sort of resembled someone talking backwards. The fire was an
inch away from him, but instead of touching him it began to shrink and a loud
shrill filled the silent night.
Theo
watched on as the fire disappeared and the late night crickets began to sing
their song of happiness.
“You
okay?” Sal wiped his hands on his shirt.
“Okay?
You seriously asking me that?”
“Yeah.”
“What
the hell was that?”
“Fire
Demon.”
“Demon?
What the . . .” Darkness consumed him as he heard his mother’s voice.
“He
doesn’t know, Sal.”
