5:00 pm, after sweeping the dry leaves I burned the pile together with some old stuff I have. It was kinda dark so the fire glares in the semi-dark afternoon. While watching some scratch papers burned together with the dry leaves I watched the fire flicked. I was fascinated. There was red in the outer fire, orange next to the red, yellow in the inner and blue in the core.

The fire reminded me of the stars and their different ages, where the blue is the hottest and the red as the coldest. The fire was bright and hot. I was drawn with the brightness of it. I was like hypnotized. Slowly, I raised my hand and moved my hand closer in the fire and before I knew it…ouch!

My pinky had blister. It was crazy of me rather stupid to draw my hand near the fire. I didn’t know what came to me that I want to touch the fire. When I entered the house, my mom asked what happened to my pinky. I just told her that it was just an accident.

Lesson learned: Do not sweep the dry leaves in your backyard! Hahahaha….Joke! Let yourself be fascinated with the light that the fire is emitting but do not dare touch it. Though the fire is dancing and seducing you to touch it, don’t do it. Take it from me! I once let myself be seduced with the brightness of the fire and I was burned…badly burned.
