Here is this week’s story to complete:
The one-year old boy liked the look of the fire. It was bright, attractive and big. He felt drawn to it and started walking towards the fire. But the adults were pulling him back each time. He was annoyed, so he started shouting and crying. He walked towards the fire again, but this time from a different angle. The adults had not noticed him yet and he was very close to the fire.

To Write or not to Write and What to Write 
I’m thinking…

The front of his body was hot, but not the back. He enjoyed the warmth. The flames changed shape continuously, it was mesmerizing. Suddenly the fire crackled, pang, pang, pang, and sparkles shot out. One tiny sparkle hit his hand and the boy screamed uncontrollably.
Dad swept him up from the floor and blowed vigorously on the hand while the boy cried hard. A blister formed on the little hand, just below the thumb.
“See, I told you to not go near the fire,” said the dad soothingly, but the boy cried and cried. Dad turned to the adults in the room; “He will probably keep away from the fire in the future, burnt child dreads the fire.

Well, experience is a better teacher. I feel sad for the boy but also happy for him:) Luckily, he did not burn his face!

All at once the fire spoke.
“Hello, little boy.” Said the fire in a very deep voice.
The little boy cried out in fear, and ran away.

But Sooty the big black Labrador noticed and she lunged forward to come between the child and the fire. The child’s mother noticed and screamed, she thought that Sooty was about to attack her child but then a second later she realized that Sooty had protected her son. She went over to Sooty to give her a big hug and as she patted Sooty she felt the singed patch on her rump. Sooty had taken the burn for her son. “What would we do without you, clever dog, ” she said feeling all choked up.

No it’s like he just had a short hair cut so he didn’t feel it. 😉

The Boy was mesmerized by warming of the flames the cold did not penetrate his exposed flesh. Seating by the fire made him think of the stories his grandfather would share about his time in the Armed Forces and all places he saw on assignment.

Astonished by the beauty of the flames that kept changing shape the boy was drawn into the fire. Step by step the boy entered into this new world inside the fire everything was ablaze. There was this extreme heat that was so hot it was like the pits of hell.
Everything was ablaze even the people down there but strangely they all seemed to be fine, It was like they had developed some immunity to the heat.
For they were able to ignore the scorching heat that was beginning to show some burns on the boy’s exposed arms and legs that were walking barefooted. Where am I the boy began to wonder now the strange people of this strange had started walking towards him and were now beginning to encircle him. Fearfully he started running away from the people and into the darkest corner which he had emerged from his heart started to pound faster and he could not breathe anymore his pace increased he started screaming, closed his eyes and entered the dark corner.
Amazingly when he opened his eyes he was home and everyone was starting at him as his mother was rushing to him everything seemed to be happening in slow motion he felt a burning sensation in his hand and when he looked at his hand he saw that it was still in the fire, he screamed even more painfully this time as he rushed to get a bucket of water from the kitchen and put off the fire with his bucket.
From that day onwards whenever the fire was lit he always hid behind his mother even during the coldest of days he never got tempted to play with the fire ever again
