Kerosene

Cal's got this thing about fire. It's nothing big at first, just lighting matches, watching them burn, enjoying the calming effects of the flame . . . It helps him cope with stuff.

Then he meets Abby, and things start to get out of control. She winds him up, playing with him until he thinks he might lose his sanity, and suddenly the matches just aren't enough any more. So a plan hatches itself in Cal's mind, a plan so glorious it could set the world alight. Nothing will ever touch him again . . .
