    Burnt Offering by

    Eight Days of Luke
    Summary

    When they said that flames lick, that kisses consume, or that touches burn, all these, David had thought, were only metaphors. Certainly flames have no mouths; when Luke withdrew from David his mouth would still be there; and where their hands, then their arms, then their torsos touched, and their knees tangled, David still had skin, not crisped or burnt or even reddened. Still, there was something important about this metaphor, something powerful and insightful about the connection between flame and Luke - between fire and love.

    Notes

    Luke scratched his nose and then smiled slightly. "Well, the world is ending."

    "Oh," said Astrid faintly, and staggered three steps to sit down firmly on the sofa. "I thought it might be something like that."

    Notes

    "Do you want me to free the others as well?" David asked. He had read about them in the library. They did not seem like freeing them would be a particularly good idea, but then again, David had never regretted freeing Luke, and most of the books had very few good things to say about Luke.

    "Only if you want to, of course," said Luke. "Think about it."
