Early humansgrasped fire.
Evolution—shaped by flame.
For tens of thousands of years,humans made firea part of daily life.
Fire gave food.
Warmthagainst the cold.
Even in death,it carries the bodyto ash.
Yet in return—
humans lose to fire.
Homes.
Health.
Bodies.
The god of firegranted it to humankind—
from beyondthe multiverse.
What does it think,as it watches?
