Tonight’s post is about fire. We all know what fire is, but what is its nature? In my book WITCHES’ LADDER the serial killer uses it as a part of his modus operandi. He must know it well. Or does he?

The scientific descriptionof fire is REALLY boring, so I am not going to mention it here. If fire was a living thing it would need a body. That body we would call a flame. The fire cannot survive without two things: the fuel (something that it would actually be burning) and the oxygen (just like any human being fire needs to breathe!). If the fuel or oxygen runs out, the fire cease to exist. As simple as that! Just like a human body, when it is deprived of air or food!

What personally fascinates me about fire is its contradictory nature. Fire means destruction, but without fire the survival of humans ishard to achieve. In WITCHES’ LADDER the fire is used as a part of a dark ritual. Check out the book to find out how!
