Preface

'Let the pain stop, let the fire end. Please God stop the torture.' All I could think about was the pain; the fire. I wanted to scream to relieve the agony, though part of me knew I shouldn't. If I screamed I would be found. This knowledge somehow gave me the strength to remain quiet, although I could not fully remember why I needed to be. All I knew was discovery meant certain death and I did not want to die.

Time meant nothing, as I laid there writhing in agony, but it did pass. Slowly my mind seemed to grow, to allow me to think around the pain. Not to not think about it, that was impossibility, but to simultaneously think of other things as well. To think of how I came to this.
