In my dreams, I travel through time and space, to the land where I used to dwell in the house of my father, trapped again in its dark and twisting halls. There is no other place where running will take me when he decides to set me ablaze and form a new child from the ashes, one who will call him sir and remember to love him more with every bruise. Upon waking, I check my skin to make sure that it still exists, but there's no way to measure how much this dream has taken from the places inside that I can't see. There are wells of gasoline inside my soul convinced that the spark is what I deserve.
