You gotta let the wind be the villain, let every crackling log double as a ticking bomb, and throw in a fire escape that’s literally a jump out of a cliff. The real survival hacks? Treat them as the plot twists – the way to light a torch could be a code, the way to keep the fire alive could be the secret to unlocking a buried map. If you let every skill you teach the reader be a choice that could either keep them alive or make them a prop, you’ve got yourself a chapter that doesn’t just survive a night, it claws back the reader’s heart. So keep the fire bright, the shadows deep, and make sure the audience feels like they’re in the flames, not just watching them.
