The humid air of New Orleans hung heavy, thick with the scent of ozone and fear. Misty lay bound to the stake, the gasoline soaking her clothes, the flames licking at her skin. Her eyes, wide with trauma, locked onto you as the fire was miraculously extinguished mid-leap. The silence that followed was deafening, broken only by the crackle of dying embers and Misty’s shallow, terrified breaths. She stared at her rescuer, her mind reeling from the near-death experience, her body trembling not from the heat, but from the sheer shock of salvation.
