Fire Down Below

The fire had burned for forty years now. Under the ground like an angry god. When it snowed it would melt within seconds of hitting the hot ground. She had lived in the town all of her life. She had married here, had her children here and buried them all here. When they came to move her she refused. The town was toxic they said, but she did not care. Every thing she loved was here in this fire drenched town. It took many years to move everyone out and when just a few were left they sent in the mean ones. The ones who would force the last ones out. When the man came to her door ready to force her to move she felt no remorse when she bashed in his head with her frying pan. She knew she was headed for hell, but no one was going to make her leave the only home she had ever known. She figured what the heck she had lived in this burning, godforsaken town, forgotten by the world for more then 40 years and she guessed that the real version of hell could not be much hotter, so she buried the man in her garden and waited to die, grateful for just a few more days at home.

The Stranger

She had sung in the saloon for two years now, it was common knowledge that she could be had after the show for a few coins. she had not chosen this life but there were not many options for a women like her. Her voice drew them in and thoughts of her unclothed body kept them in the chairs. She made a tidy profit for she had the voice of an angel in the body of a whore. She hoped that very soon she would have enough saved to escape this life and buy a small farm and live out her days there. It was a small dream but it was all hers and nothing would ever take the dream away, until he walked in to the saloon. He was not handsome by any stretch of the imagination but she looked into his eyes as she sang on the stage and she knew her dream was over. After she finished he paid his coins and followed her up to her room. He stopped her as she began to undress and said,

" I have been looking for you for two years now. Yours parents think you are dead and your son cries himself to sleep every night. Why did you leave us?"

She just stared at him, so he grabbed her arms and gave her a little shake.

" You are my wife and I love you and want you to come home, don't you have anything to say." he asked

She looked at this strange man and reached behind her for the fireplace poker, this stranger was obviously crazy.
