The Fire (Part 1)

It started with a spark. Everything escalated from there. From a spark to a flame it began to lick at my desk. The proof of ownership set ablaze. It was supposed to be a new beginning, but for a fresh start everything must first be erased. We had just bought the Domino’s. It had gone bankrupt 15 years ago. The space was going to be turned into an aquarium. Squids, turtles, fish, you name it, we have it. At least that was the goal but now my desk is screaming, smoking, never getting to live the life it should’ve had. But maybe it wasn’t the desk screaming, maybe it was her. The one who took it all from me. The life I should’ve had. Now I’ll take it all from her. The searing truth pierced through me like a knife as I stood outside my office, watching the fire that I started. I killed her.
