Hungry Fire

Like most children, I was very curious. I questioned everything and didn’t stop until I got answers. Satisfactory answers. That also meant I was foolish and impulsive; like when I ‘questioned’ how adults defecated (did it come through the same hole as mine? Was it sometimes painful too?) and played ‘investigator’ by peeping through a crevice in the toilet door while Uncle Sam, who had come visiting, was using it.
