Beneath the Shadow of a Burning Build

It’s a MAD dash when you’re fleeing through charring flames, a haniss act as the flames boil over and spill, rivers spewing from the windows gaped open wide like screaming jaws. Smoke bellowing, chanted shrieks and harrowing screams fanning flame with the flaccid breath of the young, just hopelessly I’ll bring a new worldly suffering. It’s but the glistening flicker of the bright blaze and flamboyant gleam scaving about my slithering grin. My eyes smeared and polished, a senseless joy embedded beneath them, as house to building,  innocent to sinnly collapse bathed to ash. It’s but MAD, watching a maniac watch a maniac which just happens to be you. Fleshly clothed, spectating the world’s thrust into the salivating mouth of the flames, tis but a hospital or an orphanage, a school to a home. The memory of the twinge and tickle of  a match head flame spiders about the finger tips, pawing at the urge. One more blazing build couldn’t hurt.
