To Burn Without Shame

This short story was inspired by a prompt given to me by our lovely Adam.

I won't be providing a synopsis for this one - just the prompt that he gave me - so that you can absorb everything as it happens. This is a very conceptual, subversive piece, so I'd love to get your thoughts on everything once you've finished reading!

"Tell a story with a concept of an afterlife. Could be about heaven, hell, reincarnation, or something entirely different - just a vision for what might lie beyond this world that's unbound by conventional interpretations."
