When her name was called, she almost wanted to walk out the door of the place. But that was an almost and she didn’t. Laura bravely approached the flames, watched them lick at her shoes before stepping into the bright circle.
She waited for a fear of being burned alive to come, but it never did. She waited for something to happen. Two long minutes passed before anything did, and that was because of her doing. Laura’s palms were becoming a bit sweaty, probably that nervous thing she had going for her as always.
A bead of sweat fell from her brow as she waited.
Then all of a sudden, this very bored-looking creature made of flames came into her view. When the creature saw Laura, it snickered.
Maybe this was it.
