To Eric it seemed like forever ago he had stolen his brother’s car to come up here. He could see all the stars as clearly as ever. It seemed to him the sky had gotten bigger since childhood. The fumes of the accelerant he had poured all over the small row boat and himself in the process were getting to him, making him see double. As Eric struggled to light a match he couldn’t help but hope his brother found the note he left in the dump they called home. At some point he hit his mark and the match jumped to life in his hand causing him to drop it in surprise. Flames devoured the boat but he was far too numb to feel it. He just stared up at the sky.
