Alice in Hell #014

“Alice and the Fire from the Dark” stands before the blaze devouring the night, holding a single match whose tiny flame flickers in rhythm with the inferno behind her. They say a house once stood beyond the forest, filled with voices and laughter, until one night when the sky turned orange. No one knows whether the fire began on its own or if something called it out of the shadows. Alice simply stands there, her eyes glowing with the reflection of smoke, as if she knows what set the silence alight — but she’ll never reveal the secret to anyone who asks too much.
