So, when I was writing an extremely dull RS essay about Hell, I had an idea. Hell is often portrayed as a fiery inferno, right? So what if that fire is the fire of the evil souls cast down into hell? For example, say if there is a murderer, and he kills a few people. Every sin he commits raises a fire within him. When he dies, this fire is unleashed in Hell, where it is safely contained. The more fire within you, the more sins you are likely to commit. But fire can't just be there. It has to built up, it has to be started. Fire can't just be in you. But imagine if there is a girl, born with a fire. This idea is set in a world where fire within is deadly and feared. This girl is the first to be born with a fire. People believe she should be killed. After all, everyone with fire is sent to Hell, where it is contained. But her parents believe the girl should be allowed to live until she is thirteen. The people allow it. When she reaches thirteen, the girl doesn't agree that she should die.
The novel basically follows her struggle to fight people's belief and to, well, live.
Tell me what y'all think!
Thanks!
