365 Creative Writing Prompts: Fire-Starters

Beware the fire-starters. They are small, hairless creatures that skitter about in the dark, shedding sparks and starting fires. They shiver nervously in their little lights, searching for you with weak eyes. 

You are superior, but do not get caught in their trap. Protect yourself from the flames. Not only could you get burned, but you could expose yourself to the fire-starters. Hide yourself at all costs, for our advantage is the element of surprise. It's not easy to hide, either. A single spark could be all the warning you have before a flash of light is cast upon you. And if they see you in that flash of light, the fire-starters might scream. You'll have to dispose of them more quickly than usual, before they warn the other fire-starters.

Only the best monsters take on a fire-starter. If you're fast enough, you just might rule the dark. Let those sniveling humans be afraid; their fire won't stop you.
