Flame and Smoke, by Mark Tulin
25/10/2019
Joanna loved flame and smoke. Even as a girl, she enjoyed watching a matchstick being struck. It made her eyes twinkle as Joanna watched the dancing red and orange flame. She dreamt of wildfires and bonfires and fires of the heart, making sure to be careful not to get burnt.
As she grew older, fires had become an occupation. She landed a job with a local weather station. She specialized in covering big blazes up close and had a romantic interlude with a first responder. He wanted her to stop her dangerous infatuation, but she couldn’t douse her burning desire.
Crow On The Wire

Thank you, Wendi. She’s very rigid. Can’t change.

Thank you, Wendi. I like to have variety. 😊
Oh, this story does not bode well.
She has a death wish.
Oh my God!!

Thank you Aruna.
Another good visual, Mark. Reminds me of the movie, “Always” from 1989.
Have to see that. And you remember the year, too
