“A friend’s house?” he questions. Which friend?”
I’m surprised that he even wants to know this small detail. Why should it matter which friend!

mission was to guide her towards the candle; it was a simple
test: The burning sensation would have stopped on its own
even without my interference, it would have taken a long
time, but it still would have stopped.
So then why did I rush to help her?
Every time I close my eyes, I hear her screams; I’ve
listened to cries before, but none has ever managed to flip
my insides as hers did.
“Fuck” i slam the knife down onto the wooden table
and mumble some more as I get up.
