So these are things that have accidentally fallen out of my brain, through the pen onto paper when I wasn't looking. Yes, I think they're all mine. Unless I was copying something I subconsciously remembered... but then that would be plagiarism, wouldn't it? Oh well...
[1]Confessions of a (Pyro)maniac
You know when you strike a match againts the box and you get that smoke that only lasts for seconds until it's driven away by the smell of burning wood? Yeah, I like the smell of that smoke. I'd sit on the varnished wood floor of my room lighting matches one by one, watching them ignite and inhaling deeply that initial smokey releif. Then I'd let the match burn out into ashes and crush it in a tray. Then light another one. And another and so on.
I'd go through twelve boxes on a bad day when things were really getting to me. I suppose you could say matches were to me as cigarettes are to smokers. The smells of burning coupled with the dancing flames and the flying sparks were like my relaxant. They helped my to see my world in a whole different light. Everything became beautiful - more brilliantly intense - under the spell of that blaze.
I guess that would explain why I burned down my town and ground its ashes underneath my boots... Just for the fun of it.

___
[5]"I greatly dislike watching people change. It's unsettling to helplessly witness them twisting and turning and writhing out of their own skin, only to mutate into an unrecognisable being who is far more capable of that destruction that had festered stagnantly in their former self."
