Burnt

Ben’s vision blurred before he snapped back to what was happening in front of him. His closest friends were clapping and cheering for him and there was a single layer cake laid before him, with 34 candles lit on top of it. Ben managed a half smile and took a deep breath and then blew out the candles. He felt like a kid again. Ben glanced past his crowd of friends again towards the tree line, but the man with the half burnt face that was menacingly staring at him mere seconds before was gone. “Who the fuck was that? Where did he go?”Ben thought, panic replacing the breath he just exhaled over the birthday cake.
