The Fire
Posted by Catherine in Childhood on May 10th, 2009 | 3 commentsWhen I was young, my brother and I set fire to the church we lived next door to. We were caught trying to put it out with cans of lemonade. It spread and ended up burning our house down. Still, everybody thinks it was an electrical problem in the church. He told me I couldn’t tell anybody so I never did.
I don’t regret it. He means more to me than anyone and it makes me feel closer to him knowing that there is something that we know that nobody else on the planet does.

yeah immature kids only come up with these few things/ forgive and forget move on/ to keep it alive try to burn itone more time
While I don’t agree with breaking the law, I think remaining to stay silent is the best course of action unless someone is being hurt by you not admitting to it. However, I do wonder why you and your brother were trying to set fire to the church, were you just experimenting or were you seriously trying to commit arson?
Sounds like your house burning down at the same time was instant karma. Not much people could do now if you told anyway.
