The lamp flickers its eerie glow
Faux flames dance in the darkness
The city streets fade into the background
As the earth crumbles beneath tired feet
***
The day; long and cold
Steals the warmth from lost souls
Wandering aimlessly between empty buildings
Long forgotten; abused by time
***
Set a match
Burn the memories down
The door has closed; collapsed
The weight of the end draws near
***
The smoke billows on the horizon
The wind whips the flames
He stands on the last page
His fate; mere words away
***
Four books into the series
He was the hero, the ruler of the land
Now everything is burning down
His lungs scorched by the flames
***
How could she destroy him?
With a few hundred words to go
The protagonist's fate hangs in the balance
As the fire destroys the imaginary lines
***
His last breath fades into the page
His fate is nothing more
Than flames and ash
Til he is taken into the void
