Which story do you prefer?

Story 1 (unregistered contributor)

Lurking within the shadows of Salem lies a tortured and unhappy soul. Hoarding gallons of fuel used in fire-breathing stunts from his failed circus performing career, the Arsonist's mind only remembers the murderer who killed his entire circus. His psyche broken, the Arsonist lights a match in one hand and carries a fuel tank in the other. He is ready to act upon his shattered morality's view of what's right.

Story 2 (unregistered contributor)

The Arsonist, an insane asylum patient, is a pyromaniac driven by his burning passion of setting everything on fire. Carrying a fuel tank in one hand and a matchstick in the other, the Arsonist douses a person's house in gasoline, and then when he deems it the right time, lights his doused targets up, and as he watches their houses go in flames, he grins and makes his way back to his house, until the final morning comes, where everyone has gone up in ashes. The Arsonist's work here is done.

Story 3 (you)

(Write a short story if you don't like either of these!)

I prefer the second one, since "failed circus performing career" sounds extremely silly, imho.
