Life after a fire

smoke and ash highlight it all,

color what you see,

replace every pleasant scent,

and haunt, and haunt, and haunt steps.

"The House," a parable I drew about leaving the Mormon church.

I've come to think this metaphor also applies pretty well to constitutional originalism and the absurd idolization by both U.S. political parties of a document written hundreds of years ago by men who didn't know about the carbon cycle and owned human slaves.

I want to include some altered version of this in the graphic novel I'm working on, as well :)

Sorry if this is inappropriate, but I was kinda wondering what caused your house fire? What to avoid doing the future if it was preventative ya know

My housemate's e-bike battery was charging in their room, and combusted. I was at work; thankfully everyone else got out safely. But we all lost our apartment and most of our personal possessions. The bike's owner lost literally everything- they were in the shower and escaped wearing only a towel. Their room looked like a crater; that's not an exaggeration.

I support electric vehicles as part of the fight against climate change, but I REALLY need people to be aware of the risks. The lithium ion batteries they use are not like the one in your phone or your computer, or even in an electric car. While any of the above can catch fire, it seems like the ones in e-bikes and e-scooters are more likely to at the moment. And the fire burns hot and fast- I've heard conventional extinguishers can't even put it out, though I don't know much about that. This wasn't an off-brand bike or battery, either. It was by Rad Power, a well-known and popular company.

Follow all the recommendations for charging the batteries: on a flat surface, attended, and DO NOT leave them plugged in past full charge. That can help, but since this battery was not fully charged when it exploded, I strongly recommend charging them outside if at all possible. I believe some people do it inside an enclosed charcoal grill, the round sort with a cover? The cord would have to stick out but it's still SOME sort of protection in case of fire.

Personally, I will never live in a house with one again, but I have Trauma Reasons and some people need them for cheap reliable transportation. I get that. They're here to stay. We just have to protect ourselves until the technology gets past its teething troubles.

Close your bedroom door when sleeping and when you leave the house. I lost a lot, but my room was the least damaged because my door was closed- the fire literally skipped over my room and up through the ceiling crawl-space.

Beyond that- basic fire safety, I guess. Don't leave candles unattended, etc.

Take care of yourselves, people. Trust me, you don't want to go through even a nonlethal house fire- and this was the best-case scenario.

"earning love"

like abused pet whumpee being found in bad condition by caretaker and being so scared of them. but trying to be so obedient so that caretaker will keep them.

or offering up themselves to be beaten by whumper because they know whumper likes that.

YEAHHHH its always so precious,,,

tw past trauma, burns, housefire, mild smoke poisoning, hospital setting, caretaker new master, conditioned whumpee, abandonment

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

Whumpee's eyes fluttered open at the annoying sound, and they found themself in a room they'd never seen before. White walls, white tile floor, white sheets... were they in a hospital?

Right, they were hooked up to a heart monitor. That was the one beeping. They turned their head to the other side, gaze landing on a sleeping stranger in a chair next to them. No, not a stranger... well, a stranger they'd seen once already. Wasn't this the person who carried them out of the house? The smoke had been pretty thick at that point already, but they were pretty sure...

Oh no. The person was waking up.

Whumpee barely had any energy in their body, but it all immediately went to going rigid and motionless. Maybe if they just stayed still, the stranger would fall back asleep. They quickly closed their eyes as well, trying to feign unconsciousness.

"Whumpee? Are you awake?"

Dammit.

They carefully opened their eyes again. "Y-yes, sir." Their throat was painfully dry, but they didn't have the courage to ask for water. Thankfully, they didn't have to.

"Oh, I'm so glad. Thank god. I wasn't sure– here, would you like some water?" They grabbed a cup with a straw in it and quickly filled it with fresh water from the tap, letting Whumpee drink as much as they wanted. Which was a lot. "I'm so glad you seem relatively alright. The burns you have are minor, and the smoke didn't do much damage either. I managed to bring you outside pretty quickly."

"Um... where– where's Whumper?" they asked timidly, and the stranger's expression immediately darkened. "I, I'm sorry, was that a bad question–"

"No, it's... we don't know. They seem to have started the fire, actually. And then they went on the run. Or whatever. We don't really know."

Whumpee swallowed. "Oh."

"I'm sorry. I know that must feel... absolutely awful. But the good news is that you won't be hurt by them again!"

They frowned a little, confused. Hurt? No, at the very most, Whumper was just correcting bad behaviour. Sure, it was painful sometimes, but that was an odd way to describe it. They needed to be 'hurt' sometimes. The loss of that guidance could be devastating, how was that good news?

Still, this person was clearly the new authority. "That's... good, sir. I'm glad."

"You can just call me Caretaker, it's fine."

Whumpee cursed themself internally. Already a fuck-up, as always. Maybe they should've burned. "S-sorry."

"No need to apologise." They glanced at the door, then back at Whumpee. "I'm gonna call a nurse and then we can sort everything out. Where you'll go, stuff like that."

"Okay, s– Catetaker."

They watched as the stranger exited the room, wondering how much of a fuss their lack of a home will cause. Whumper was their home. The only person who cared. Clearly, not anymore, and so... they had no one.

Well, they had Caretaker. Caretaker, who surely didn't need a discarded pet in their home. How could they even explain that they used to be a good pet? Who would believe that? Whumper tried to burn them alive, they tried to burn down an entire house just to watch them be roasted inside. No one would believe them about being a good pet. Good pets don't get cooked alive like a lobster.

Still, they had to try and be as polite and well-behaved as they possibly could be. Maybe then... maybe they'd take pity on them. Maybe they could sleep in a closet, or the bathtub. Whatever unused little space Caretaker had, maybe they could squeeze inside and disappear.
