“Like a baby trying to stand for the first time, it was unsure that it could succeed, take root, and flourish, but soon, its confidence building, its strength growing, the flame expanded. Just as the baby’s outstretched arms clutched at the air, claiming more territory for its own personal space, the flame devoured more of the haystack, burning the straw until it turned black, then disappeared to be reborn, violently, miraculously, as fire. The man tied to the stake that stood in the center of t...he haystack didn’t see the transformation take place, but when he felt the heat intensify under his feet, he knew what was happening.

Ronan had never heard such hatred before. He never knew a voice could be capable of such a sound, so harsh, so brutal, so inhuman. His parents’ voices were always filled with such kindness, such love, especially his father’s, except now his father remained silent as all around him the voices grew louder.
