Title: The Pyre

Prompt: Book of burning matches


James never thought it would end like this, rent to pieces by yellow-eyed freaks.

Separation of limbs is pure agony, but the most excruciating thing is the indignation.

This cannot be happening!

Even as his insides flare and catch like firecrackers, his foremost thoughts are of surprise.

In the cavity of his chest, venom bursts into sickly purple flame, incinerating him from inside out, but still all he can feel is incredulity.

Pieces of his invincible body form his own funeral pyre, but he can only gasp in shock.

Somehow, the freaks have bested him.

Screaming, he becomes ash.
