Flames
Of course her story starts with a lighter. she's always been fascinated with fire in movies and videos. She started just burning little pieces of paper that she would cut. It all started being a normal thing everytime she was angry or upset. Burning paper would take her in her own world to calm and relax her. The day she lost control was the day her grandma died. When she got home that day she ran straight upstairs and slamed her door. All she could feel was pain and acking in her chest. For awhile she sat on the floor crying until she looked up and saw her lighter. She got up and grabbed all her paper and placed it all infront of her. Then she started, she started the fire and kept adding to it and watvhed the flames get bigger and bigger. She was in her own world hoping she could see her grandma one more time just to hug her and say goodbye. Just as she saw her grandma and leaned in for a hug she was interrupted by her dad yelling ''what's going on''.
