Charred PT 2
The boy let the lighter fall from his grasp.
Feelings of mischief and excitement.
The world in front lit up.
The fire spreading quick and savagely.
The house screamed and creaked as it was consumed.
The boy backed slowly away, admiring the beast he has ignited.
Piercing screams sound suddenly from within.
The boy grins thinking the sound melodious and satisfying.
He watches as a being flings itself from the fire.
Writhing and contorting
Hoarse whines and screeches
The boy awakes forced from his memories by the agonizing pain
The boys back now flat against the ground.
As the blackened and charred being presses ever harder.
The boys skin festering and blistering.
Slowly darkening and cracking.
The boys face burnt in agonizing fissures.
Feelings of mischief and excitement.
The world in front lit up.
The fire spreading quick and savagely.
The house screamed and creaked as it was consumed.
The boy backed slowly away, admiring the beast he has ignited.
Piercing screams sound suddenly from within.
The boy grins thinking the sound melodious and satisfying.
He watches as a being flings itself from the fire.
Writhing and contorting
Hoarse whines and screeches
The boy awakes forced from his memories by the agonizing pain
The boys back now flat against the ground.
As the blackened and charred being presses ever harder.
The boys skin festering and blistering.
Slowly darkening and cracking.
The boys face burnt in agonizing fissures.

How about the boy's face in agonising fissures? Sounds like you could even squeeze a part 3 out of this. I also think this piece deserves some visual artwork too, like a charred face or something. ;-)
