Setting Fire to the snow
Prologue
When I was alive, I lived in a very snowy place. I had seen Jack Frost, for I believed in him. I saw him with one of the boys at my school, Jamie. I've always wanted to meet him, but I never had the time. Homework, School, taking care of my little sister.
Other than the fact that he seemed super cool and could fly and control weather, I also wanted to meet him because we looked identical. Other than the fact that I had blond hair and I had a bright red jacket with jeans, We could be twins.
But years went by…and that never happened.
I grew jealous because even when Jamie was a teen, around 16, Jack still came to see him. I asked Jamie to introduce me to Jack. He promised, but "Things came up" . Lies.
So, even when all the proof was in my face, I turned to not believing in him. It never worked and I could still see him for I deep deep down inside will always believe in him.
But, never mind that. My name is Jackson Underland Flame. I love seeing the candles on a birthday cake flair up and the sound and sight of fireworks amaze me. I love campfires and sitting in front of a fireplace in the winter. I have not the slightest clue why I love such things, but I do.
In 10th grade me and my class went on this field trip to a volcano in Norway. It cost a lot of money, but there was nothing keeping me from going to see the colors the lava could create. Jamie was in my class too, so he was there. We got to stand at the edge of the cliff and take notes of how the lava reacted when we pushed things into it.
But, here's how it went down. I'm bullied a lot in school. I'm called "The Fire-freak" for my love of fire and heat. So on this field trip These guys came up behind me and thought it would be fun to scare me. While I was watching the lava peacefully, one of them pushed me. Too hard, might I add.
I tripped and fell into the lava. Now I could blame the school for not taking safety risks, but in my eyes it was all the bullies fault. I died a horrible, burning death. I could remember the screams of the other classmates as they watched. I wasn't there to see, but I know for sure that the whole class had to go to therapy. Even Jamie.
Not a year later, I awake….Alive in front of the moon. The moon told me, or really the man in the moon told me, My name was Jack Flame.
I am the complete opposite of Jack Frost, and I am here for a reason.
That reason….I'm still trying to figure out.
