Powerhousecreatives Contest | Photo Prompts/ Desperation in the face of fire

   It's a strange night, the moon is brighter than ever, and the silence is so scary that it scares me. If only the fireflies and crickets would make their usual noise.

   Today everything is conspiring to make my nerves grow much bigger. I think everyone sees me on this desolate, cold, quiet street.

   _ ¡I'm going to light a fire! Maybe that will calm me down a bit, while I wait! My body is cold, it trembles, but I don't know if it's more because of the cold or because of the fear I have inside.

    ¡I look at the fire and I get lost! My thoughts come and go, I want to shut this crazy head, not think, it's like having a radio on singing a Queen song. Or it's like having the blonde woman from the movie "The woman from my nightmares" stuck entirely in my head.

   _ ¡I want the time to pass now! I'm too anxious! I don't know if I'm doing the right thing!

   The fire is the only thing that keeps me from the world, I wish the flame was higher, I keep looking at it and it's the only way to not think about anything. What a great mystery there will be that paralyzes me completely, it quiets me down and makes me sigh.

   I insert more wood into the small fire while the minutes turn into hours, _ Maybe I'm too early, I don't know!

   Tonight I'm going to elope with my beloved, she means everything to me and we're going to start a life together. From now on everything will change, I have always been a responsible guy, I will know how to give her a full life, full of love.

   Our parents do not approve, so we have made this decision, we do not want to wait any longer, we have come of age and we want to make our lives, as they did theirs. Let them leave us alone!

   From now on I just want to see your smile and your eyes, your look and your lips, because I care about others.

   _ ¡Come to my beautiful princess! She's coming soon!

   _ ¡I despair! I've been waiting for her for a long time and she's not coming! The crazy radio goes off in my head again, asking a thousand questions.

   _ ¡I don't want you to regret my love!

   This fire today will give us your blessing and this starry sky will be our first roof, the home that you and I will build will have the biggest thing in the world to start with, LOVE!
