Burnin' Ring O Fire

So here's the cliff hanger Abby left you with last time:

After the Thursday meeting Amy dropped me off at home on her way to bring her Bible study home and as I was getting out she said "Hey, could you put another log on the fire? You can do that, right?" My response "Oh yeah! Sure! No problem!" - idiot.

So I grab a log on my way in and stick it in the fire place and to my dismay - it doesn't fit! Unfortunately, by the time I realize that it's not going to stay in, the stupid log is already on fire! It's like it spontaneously com-busted because I swear it was only in there for like 5 seconds. So I'm holding on to this burning log because it HAS to go in there - it's on fire! So I'm trying to punch it in and move it around and jam it in and the thing just isn't going...as it's half hanging out I pause for a second and think to myself, "Self, this is the part where you die. The whole house is going to go up in flames and I am going to die in a fire because I'm an idiot." Just then, I get a brilliant idea! I took the flamin log out and threw it on the hearth and run into the kitchen to grab a pitcher of water and I throw it on the blasted demon of a log! And then, just to make sure it doesn't reignite itself, I threw it out the window into the snow. Partially as a safety precaution, and also partly because at this point I wanted to dispose of the evidence so I wouldn't have to tell Shmollers I almost burnt their house down.

Clearly, I gave in and confessed my sins. Which was stupid too. Because now none of them trust me with anything. Especially if it involves fire. And now neither will you.
