The arsonist chuckled at his beautiful contraption. A wonderful display of pyromancy at its finest and deadliest! But he still had one more piece to add to his puzzle. With a smile on his ashen face, he crawled through the town, gas can in hand, and headed to the last house. It was a shoddy shack, with what appeared to be a Spy inside. But he didn't care. He didn't care who they were, as long as they were still alive for him to torch.

With a pleasured sigh, he finished off the final splashes of gasoline on the shack. To him, they were all pieces of tinder. Tinder for his beautiful bonfire. He just had to wait one more day.

As the town panicked at the fear caused by the Arsonist, he was a bit worried as well. A lowly Bodyguard was executed, and now he won't get to witness the spectacle tonight! The entire town was on a witch hunt for the deadly firestarter, and yet he blended in with the crowds.

It was midnight. The rest of the town was on their toes. Worried. An attentive townie noted that almost everyone claimed to have been doused. Except for one person.

As realization sparked the Jailor's fear-riddled mind, a tiny light sparked in the Arsonist's hovel. He stared at the match, the final piece to his creation. With glee in his heart, he put the match on the trail of gasoline.

It spread like a fuse, then split off into the different trails that led to the houses. He laughed the entire town awake as the houses lit up with the sight of fire. Their houses burned brightly, the screams outmatched by the roars of flames.

He didn't have time to turn around and see that his own house had been set alight. He didn't have time to register that he was on fire as well. He didn't have time to look down and realize that he was about to die. As he looked with his final breath at the beauty that he had caused, he saw something that explained it.

One of the houses was unlit.

He smiled as he realized that he was not alone. Although he would not bbe in this world for long, he knew that there was someone to continue what he had sparked. If only he got to see the spectacle.
