Chapter 12

From the first minute flame, it takes twenty-seven minutes to engulf a building in beautiful destruction. I’ve spent a portion of my time finding the perfect spot to allow my rage at being tossed aside for another man to run wild.

It’s old, abandoned, and a little worse for wear, but the dry leaves and debris helped the fire start faster than any other place I’ve chosen before.

Paramount Ranch has been burned to the ground in the past, but not like this.

Not ever like this.

I made sure to use the bit of time I allowed myself to make the perfect design for her. I want to be positive that there’s no way she can miss it this time and I hope that the constant of seeing it will help her make a correlation to my crimes.

Though I don’t see what I do as such.

It’s an art, and every artist knows their next piece has to be better than the last if they want to stay relevant. After seeing her with another man, I know that my relevancy is slipping with her, and I need to keep her attention.

I need her to see me.

And that’s why I started with orange.

Yellow doesn’t seem to get her attention anymore, and while I like to start at the beginning, sometimes the middle of the song is where the most meaningful parts are sung.

You have to remember me, I think as I close my eyes for a moment on the walk back to where she’s enjoying an evening with a stranger. You have to know that I still care about you; that I need you to feel like a normal man again.

By the time I arrived at the venue again, I saw something that began to burn white hot inside of me.

White; the color I fear the most.

She was leaving with him and she looked a little sad.

Is he moving her against her will?

Do I rush in and save her?

No.

I can’t.

Not until she sees me.

Not until she says my name again.

Soon, I think sadly as I watch her get into his car.
