Aflame
Fire has a primeval quality. I've probably said that before. Reiterating the fact doesn't change it, though. Somewhere in the human psyche exists a need to see fire. There's a dream-like quality to the flames and light that the brain connects to the long-ago.
Even at a distance, it compels. Making fire feels like an inherent requirement to live. All other forms of heating seem to be a little cheaper. Inside a fireplace or a fire pit, flames call out. Like a coat of light, time-travel and magic, fire wraps everything in heat.
