Inflamed

The boy stood beside his mother while she made enquiries about the amount of material she needs.

He had been picked up from school and they were on their way home. He was staring at a nearby hanging of bright red curtain material. There was something mesmerizing about the colour. There seemed to be something strangely familiar about it, but he didn’t know what it was. His mother was busy getting advice from the assistant, giving him time to work on it. He took a few steps towards it and ran his finger down the material, but it didn’t help. The material his mum required was being wrapped and soon after they were going through the checkout. He was occasionally looking back, still trying to make out some kind of connection.

It was on the drive home when it came to him. He smothered a snigger as he finally figured it out. It had happened during the morning’s science class. It was the colour of his teacher’s cheeks when he had knocked over a large bottle of flammable liquid that covered the benchtop, then, reaching for the cloth to start mopping it up, had toppled the Bunsen burner on to its side, setting light to everything…

Yes, he thought, it was the exact same colour!
