Burn It Down

by Teruukin

Pyro scared people. That much was common knowledge to just about everyone but Pyro. Wherever he went, the gas mask he wore and the fire axe at his side seemed to worry people at best, and send them running or attacking at worst. Surely there was a reason for their fear - hell, if even his own teammates, including the unshakeable Heavy were wary of him, then he had to be dangerous.

8. It's been a while

Hey, it's time to wake up.

Can you hear me? It's time to wake up.

No, no, don't be scared, it's just me. You recognize me, don't you?

Good. I'm glad. I would have been sad if you didn't. I'm sorry for startling you.

It's late, I know...I'm sorry, but we have to go. I've got the car running. Grab everything you want to keep, okay? I've got some plastic bags you can use.

...I can't tell you. But trust me, you'll like it there. I promise.

No, you can't stay here.

I know, I'll miss you too..but it'll be better for you. You'll be happier there.

I'll give you ten minutes.

Uh. I've been absent a while. That wasn't on purpose.

I...well, I kind of moved across the country. So that's been a bit tough to navigate. I think I'm at a point where I can post again though.
