RUINING ANGEL

‘What the hell?’ she said as she struggled with the door handles in the dark. ‘Hello, hello – is anyone there?’
Tommy bit down on his tongue, suppressing his laughter. No one could hear them down the hall and he wanted to keep it that way. Carolyn was in a panic, banging on the door, desperate for it to be opened.
By now it was evident that she had alerted some of the other patrons for he could hear more voices on the other side of the door. He knew they couldn’t get out any of the other emergency exits – he’d already locked those tight earlier in the day. He didn’t want anyone making any phone calls so he decided the time had come to light the match.
With the video still rolling, he lit the match stick and held it up so it could be captured in the frame. As he lowered it to the fuel soaked carpet he listened more intently than ever to the screams that were about to be unleashed on the other side of the door. The fire caught instantly although the reaction on the other side seemed delayed; it only added to the satisfaction Tommy was getting out of filming the whole thing.
The screams that followed were blood curdling and desperate as an acrid smoke started pooling under the seal of the doors. Man oh man. This was even better than he had been anticipating.
His hands started to shake with adrenalin and he knew he had to get moving before the fire station had time to react to the smoke alarms that had started to blare. As Tommy ran down the hall of the cinema building, the young girl that was at the front ticket booth was running towards him.
‘What’s going on?’ she yelled.
‘Whole building’s on fire; we have to get out now!’ he yelled, shoving her towards the front glass doors of the building. As they fell out onto the street, Tommy started to inch backwards into the crowd that was gathering on the sidewalk. In the distance, the long wail of the fire truck siren could be heard above the commotion and general traffic noise.
By the time the truck actually arrived, the old building was completely engulfed in flames. The carpet had acted as a catalyst and ensured the flames of the fire had licked the insides of the building within minutes. All that would remain would be the outside shell and an unidentifiable charred mess.
With all the commotion, nobody saw the tall lean frame on the street corner a block away. Although dark circles hooded Tommy’s eyes, they shone with pure excitement. He was still filming - albeit from a distance, but he could still clearly see the flames and smoke on the screen of his iPhone. He knew he was going to enjoy replaying the footage later. As the Department of Police and Emergency Management turned up, Tommy left the scene to find his car. While he was reluctant to leave, he did have a long drive ahead of him to Devonport so he could catch the first ferry out to the mainland in the morning.
As Tommy cruised north on the Midland Highway, he had an urge to fulfill the desire he’d been holding back on for the last few hours. With darkness upon him, he pulled off the highway near Epping Forest and took a side road that led to the nature reserve. He killed the ignition, turned off his lights, and sat quiet in the still of the night. When he was certain he was completely alone, he pulled out his iPhone and went into the photo gallery where he knew his newly acquired footage would be waiting for him.
With the only light coming from the screen of his phone, he fumbled for his belt buckle and un-zippered his fly. He put his hand down his pants and started to grope himself while he pressed play on the screen. It started immediately, the muffled voice of Carolyn could be heard and then the others joining her. The more he watched and listened, the more aroused he became. By the time he watched himself light the fire he was ready to reach the pinnacle of his excitement. As the loud screams and shouts could be heard from the other side of the door, he groaned in ecstasy as he ejaculated. He leaned back in his car seat, satisfied that he had finally fulfilled a desire that had held him captivated for the last year.
He watched the rest of the video in silence then put it safely away in his bag. He cleaned himself up and then made his way back to the highway and continued on north.
Tommy knew he was addicted to fire – he loved everything about it. The only thing on his mind now was his next ‘hit’. That was the thing with an addict of any sort, they always wanted one better than the last.
