Vapour & Ashes
Chapter: Year 2010-2019
‘You want to be by my side? You know that’s not possible. You are fire, and I am water- our very natures are at war with each other. We will always be enemies.’
‘But I don’t want to be your enemy.’
‘We don’t have a choice. The inferno or the tide- one must consume the other. Either you will turn me to vapour, or I will reduce you to ashes.’
“But if water gets to about 2500 degrees or so, it splits into hydrogen and oxygen, and those readily ignite…”
“You aren’t getting the metaphor, are you?”
