The crackling fire left a glimmer in the man’s eyes.
For within this fire he saw a reflection of himself.
An image he regretted, yet no matter how much he tried looking away, the fire lured him in like a predator seeking its prey.
In a way the fire gave him pleasure along with regret.
It was this curiosity that drew him in closer to the crackling fire and as he got closer and closer he grew colder.
Yet as he drew away from the fire he became warmer.
Decisions had to be made.
He put out the fire and walked away a better man.
