The Burning
The hermit hobbled into the village, leaning heavily on his cane, he rarely visited unless he was in need of supplies. His face was deformed as if he was sculpted in clay but one side of his face had not been finished.

I don’t understand why everyone is screaming. I’m alive! When they bound my hands and feet and tossed me in the water, I thought I was a goner. Two girls I knew had already drowned this way. But almost as soon as I sank into the water, my body shot upward and out of the river. It was uncanny really. I didn’t just float slowly to the top, or bob along the surface. I propelled into the air a bit and seemed to bounce along like a skipped stone.
