The Burning of Brandon Lauder

Brandon Lauder is a twenty eight year old divorcee living the American dream; working a dead-end government job, surviving paycheck to paycheck, and just hoping he can scrape in enough money to stay off his mom's couch. His day to day life is a steady procession of angry phone calls and missed faxes held aloft by the promise of after work happy hour. His hobbies include memorizing lines from famous zombie movies, chronic porn surfing, and inventing his own mixed drinks. If, indeed, Brandon has a flaw in his well-maintained existence, it's only that he occasionally gets blood in his alcohol system.One night, after stumbling out of a bar, he follows the sound of a distant siren, and finds his life is poised to immolate from the ground up. Brandon's met a special new friend, and as it turns out, his new buddy's hobbies include fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish. If, indeed, this new friend has a flaw in his well-maintained existence, it's only that he can never find a big enough match to satiate his hunger for destruction. Can Brandon free himself from the nightmare that's spilled forth into his waking life, or will he be consumed by this inferno of his own creation?
