Let It Burn

Evelyn

I'm not the same person I was two years ago. Lately life has lost its color and everything seems a bit grey.

The woman that I am today is just going through the motions - work, eat, sleep and repeat. I live in a museum of memories, desperately clinging to a past that is almost too painful to remember. I stayed when I should've left and now the person who has haunted my every dream since that day has returned. This time - for me.

I know I'm not strong enough to fight on my own, not when he's taken everything that matters.

I left to forge my own path and to avoid becoming someone I couldn't face in the mirror. Being a firefighter has been my dream and my life's work.

I did my job and that should be the end of it. But there's something about the look in her eyes that calls to me, seeking her out goes beyond my scope of duty but I'm helpless to resist the pull.

When her past comes back to haunt her, I make it my vow to protect her. I never thought that I would be returning back to the place that almost broke me but I can't help but feel like I'd do anything for her.
