    An inner mounting flame A fire down below An ember born in anger You can feel it start to glow Growing ever slowly The flames begin to rise Reaching from the depths You can see it in the eyes Riding into battle The one for which you’re bred A fiery, focused passion In this moment…

    He was hard at work in his office when he heard the knock on the door. He stopped his writing for a moment and closed his eyes. “Not this again”, he thought to himself as he let out a deep, exaggerated sigh. “Come in”, he said in a low, flat tone. He rolled his eyes…
