Flame Scape

Short on time, running, chasing
Where now?
Fog, smoke, flames, mist in my eyes
Trees are burnt, route is burnt
But I can’t jump to the ground, I’ll burn
Air is fire now, lungs shatter to cheap glass
“Did anyone escape, is that even possible?”
Striking the air with a leap of will, shrouded in hope
I fly through the blazing end, and then land
I still smell smoke, and I can feel a floor, at least I’m alive
A cool sensation flows over me, light, but luxurious
‘.’.’.’.’.’.’.’.’.’ “Rain” ‘.’.’.’.’.’.’.’.’
The searing lands temperature finally shallows
“When I find everyone else, we’ll fix this, soon.”
