Summary: Jonathan wished ...
Author's Notes: First post to the community~!


Hands tied tightly behind his back, rough rope chaffing against the sensitive skin on the insides of his wrists, Johnathan wished he'd been born in a different age - one where knowing which herbs could cure the common cold or replenish the blood after a foolhardy bleeding by incompetent doctors wouldn't have caused this.

As the pyre under his legs was lit with a crackling, joyfully destructive, flame Jonathan especially wished for the strength to spit in the faces of his persecutors for causing his mother's heart such grief.

Her cries echoed painfully in his ears even as the fire consumed him.

The wish to spare his mother pain clawed at me as I pictured the rising flames. Tragic and beautiful.
