Juno and snippet of story

I saw Juno last night and am currently working on my review of this very wonderful and weird little film. I got the best and nicest rejection email yet from bitch magazine. They don't publish film reviews per se, but they do publish feminist critiques of films, so I've pitched them one of Juno.

For the time being, I'd like to post this intro paragraph to a short story contest I'm entering at the end of next week.

Firestarter
by Andrea Warner

I throw the match and watch the spark catch the desert-dried sagebrush around the perimeter of the house, and hold my breath as the tumbleweeds became balls of fire, tempting the peeling yellow paint on the siding of what has been my only home.
