Fire's a mighty beast, ain’t it? One minute it’s roaring wild, tearing down whole trees, and the next it’s a cozy glow that keeps us warm after a long day in the woods. I’ve watched it shape stories—think of that crackle that sets a movie’s tense scene on fire, or a painter’s brushstrokes catching that flicker. In the end, fire’s the same old friend: fierce, but it can turn a hard day into a tale worth telling over the campfire.
