(əˈblāz) adjective On fire: "his clothes were ablaze"
Oh dear, that sounds horrible. To have fire consuming you. To feel the flames licking up your skin, akin to the way the wind caresses your face. Gently the fire climbs your sides, so hot you almost don't notice it. Then comes the pain, like needles it stabs you, skin withering into char on bones. Pages turn to ash as the covers peel away from the glue holding a book together. All the while the fire whispers, shh shh shh ahh crackle shh crackle ahhh ahh. It hurts but at the same time you feel amazing. You are feeling poetry in action, you are feeling burning that few others experience in their lifetimes. But then your lifetime is shortened to those few moments where the fire licks you like a friendly dog. It is shortened to the pinpricks of pain your damaged nerves are just barely able to give to your brain. You are nothing more, you are just heat and light, char on cracking bones, and the sound ahh shh shh shh crackle ahh shh crackle shh shh. And everything is forgotten because you are now just fuel for a fire. You are ablaze and you are the blaze.
