BURNING FIRE

red embers still glowing, afar off crackle and snap, the sound of life dying from blackness and ash. Nothing left, not one tiny leaf, thousands of trees gone no trace left. Not just the trees, I'm sure of that. The wildlife in the forest didn’t have a chance, the spring chicks still unable to fly. The newborn Dow is not able to run in the sticker Bryers. mother bear inside her cave with newborn cubs nesting asleep. many life forms gone, without a trace. If it were nature, it wouldn't be hard to take. A strike of lightning would be why this place burnt. not this time " no" it's been proven this started by man. At the fire's starting line, where it was lit, a burnt red can in ashes sat. It's one of five down the fires line, spread one hundred miles from north to south. Then turned east looping back west. Why would anyone start fires to kill this God given place? over ten thousand acers of safety for God's creatures he made. I am so angry We've lost five good men because of the changing winds. What a hellish thing to do, some stupid insane person who has nothing better to do, that's who, I vow to catch them if it’s the last thing I do. While drive east on HWY 10 the smoke so heavy I could hardly breath in, I spotted a little green truck and it looked really stuck, I pull up beside it, inside was a young man, he must not be even 16, and in the bed of the truck I could see, where small red cans that where all lined up in threes. The boy lies inside this truck almost dead. Shocked and fear I called out" hey son is you alive or dead?" Then the young boy replied with his last breath, nobody else's Dad would be dead, I made sure, I made sure the killers who ran into this Forrest were burnt and gone to Hell.
