    About this ebook

    Sometimes childish things persist beyond their natural time. Sometimes evil is blurry at the edges. Sometimes a little imagination only makes things worse.

    Boys will be boys
    and sparks will be fire,
    floral and flush
    with death and desire.

    Flower, Fire, Funeral Pyre is a weird-horror tale with a distinctly Southern flavor. It's about 5,900 words long.

    Warning: This story has a few instances of adult language.
