The fire that claimed the city started east of the river, and then the wind helped.
The fire that claimed Eastside started in the low-rent residential neighbourhood, and then the chemical factory helped.
The fire that claimed the neighbourhood started in 157 South Gold Street, and then 159 helped.
The fire that claimed 157 South Gold Street started in the bedroom of Rachel Snow, and then the bookcases helped.
The fire that claimed Rachel Snow's life started behind her eyes, it started as a fire in her mind, her soul.
The one she started helped her by ending the pain.
