I was thinking, people who can't light fires shouldn't criticize those who can. But he was walking over to me. Reached out his hand, with a decisive look. “Gimme your lighter.” Fair enough. I handed it to him. He flicked it a couple times, to make sure it was working. Then he made a fist, and squirted butane gas into it from the thumb side. Then, with a flick and a scratch, he opened his hand, and held a ball of flame there for a second. “Ever did that?” I nodded. He reached out the lighter, expecting me to make a fist.

Tongues of flame licked the air around it, and then the fuel was gone, at one with the air. I looked at him. “So?” He held up the lighter, waved it. It was still in his hand. He hadn't lit the fire. “You have powers, white boy.”
