The Fire Devils

by Kristy Gherlone

*This is an actual photo of my outdoor fire tonight. I believe I have finally caught them in the act!

Joining hands, they dance merrily in celebration of a new season’s dawning. The fire devils have arrived to rule the autumn nights and haunt my dreams while I sleep in a fitful slumber.

  Awesome photo! I made an illustrated short story about a similar thing some months back, called “Fire!”. Flames really do look alive sometimes, don’t they…
