Nature has its Ways of Handling Things

Nature really does serve justice. As if it were watching us and the things we do. Nature has feelings just as well as humans. When I was little, I always enjoyed playing with fire. I used to gather up all the dry leaves put them in a pile and light them up. The flames would just mesmerize me. For this reason I begged my parents to buy me a fireplace for Christmas. One day when I was eleven or twelve I was walking down the street with my friends. When I noticed a small bush to the side of the pavement. It just so happened I had matches on me. So I lit up two of the matches and burned one of the leaves sticking out. I wasn't satisfied. I barely got a chance to see the little fire. That led me to lighting up the whole book, throwing it in the middle of the bush. I stood still waiting, watching the smoke rise from the bush. That's when all of a sudden the whole bush blew up in flames. I stood there watching the fire and the bush burn. In the same way as if it were a delicious meal, practically drooling on myself. That's when my friends called "come on lets go before someone comes." So I ran not even looking where I was running. I was still turned toward the fire. When Bam I ran right into a stop sign. Thus making a huge gash over my eye. My face was dripping with blood. I had to go to the hospital to receive four stitches. Nature got me back good. She taught me a lesson, the hard way. Karma does come back around. Nature truly is one of the most powerful things.
