Burned Quote by Jessica Shirvington

“His body distorted, eyes appeared all over him, and wings spread from his back—three wings on each side. My breath caught. They were magnificent. Then they burst into flames, raging red and blue fire, and he just stood there in front of me, his arms slightly apart as he burned. Then he was gone.” quote by Jessica Shirvington
