Aw, holy Zagnog. That’s what I get for drinking too much Promethian Fire-Punch before driving home.

I sit my star disc down on this out-of-the-way little planet to grab a nap and it turns out there are life-forms here.

They want pictures. Ain’t that great? We’ll see about this. Where did I leave my probe?

Flash Fiction Challenge: Conflagration

Now he knew why the old man was always yelling at him for playing with matches.

He stood well back but could feel the heat even from this distance. He could hear the crackles and groans as the walls of the old place swayed and buckled.

He was afraid, but invigorated. This would change everything. What would happen now? He could hear the sirens wailing in the distance. There might be trouble, but there would be no more beatings.
