The burning is spreading! It went from my hands to my arms and then down my back. The bright red flames shoots out of my fingertips to the father I once loved. They wouldn’t stop no matter how much I try. Screaming erupts in my ear. I turn toward my mother and the flames engulf her. I hear my younger sisters screaming at me to stop. But I couldn’t. My rage toward my father fuels the fire.

My sisters pull on my arms, trying to get the flames away from our mother. I scream at them to let go or they would burn too. But they wouldn’t. Out of fear of burning them, the flames die. Ethne runs over to our mother to checks for a pulse. When she starts crying, I fall apart. Tears roll down my cheeks as the sudden realization that I killed our parents hit me.
