An excerpt from
โFire! Fire!โ I yelled. The villagers in their nightclothes ran frantically with buckets of water. But what water could ever extinguish this ominous fire, the fire that lay raging upon my sisterโs breast? No, no holy spring, no cooling water, no living hailstone could ever cause this fire to cease. This was the fire from within, not the fire from without. The fire from without my sister could bear; it was the fire from within she could never contain. This fire was doomed to last forever.
