Speaking of fire…
A couple of months ago I almost burned the house down.
Broiling bacon had sounded like a good idea.
Fortunately my future ex was home. I was able to scream for help as the oven caught on fire and we were both able to battle the flames to safety with our kitchen fire extinguisher and some towels.
In retrospect, I wonder if it was my soul trying to help move things along a little, give us all a shortcut to exit cleanly.

Not as crazy as it sounds – it’s funny how we (and the world around us) seem to unconsciously conspire to achieve ends we are only vaguely aware of at the time.
