Fire was my only companion. A burning light in a world otherwise filled with darkness. A life of pain and abuse I never thought I’d escape. I’m still not convinced I have.

And his youngest son, Kyle, is a dream romance that I don’t deserve. But no dream lasts. As a new nightmare begins, I’m back where I started. Captive. Abandoned. Alone. And staring into the flames. Except this time the embers are dying, and when the monster in the dark enslaves my soul, no one will stoke me back to life.
