Burn 
by Suzie Lockhart 

One spark. One tree.
Warning siblings of impending,
glorious killing fields;
brilliant flames licking the heavens,
skies reflecting striking shades
of tangerine and scarlet…
Before the blackened soot
leaves behind a legacy of destruction,
homes desecrated
in the aftermath;
smoke choking victims
mourning memories
lost legacies;
the wildfires
burnt to the ground
everything around them.
Crumbling to dust.

Morbid Metamorphosis:
Terrifying Tales of Transformation

Metamorphosis occurs every day as caterpillars become sweet fluttering butterflies, tadpoles become gorgeous frog princes and chameleons become one with the beauty of nature – but you won’t find any of that here.

The transformations you’re about to witness are unnatural, sometimes gruesome and deeply psychological. They will make you question reality and take your mind places it was never meant to go.
