i see fire inside the

Adults told Grey he was too young to remember the fire, but he does. His first memory is of fire.Searing heat, and scorching flames, and the sound of crackling wood, people screaming. Later, when he’s old enough to be told, Gilliam tells him half the Seam burnt, killing his mother and his father and so many others. It was just a small fire in someone’s hearth, but unattended, it burnt out of control.
