Thougth I'd do a little fiction

He stopped for a second, and stared down onto the bottle in his hand. The stench of gasoline mixed with kerosine vapered out of it, pressing its way past the length of cloth pushed into the opening. The bottom of it swimming in the mixture. The dark shadow took a glance at the house across the street, then took another deep hit of the joint in his other hand. A series of images flashed before his eyes, blonde hair, mixed in with pink, deep blue eyes, and a pearly white smile. He stared over at the house again, watching as the lit windows slowly turned dark, the only visible light from the streetlamps.
As the last window turned dark, he looked at his watch, and flicked the wheel on his lighter. Two quick steps forward, his arm stretched out behind him, with the flames licking at the white cloth. A line of tiny fragments formed behind it, making it look like a rainbow of fire before the sound of breaking glass broke the silence.
The gasoline quickly covered the white drapes, sending tongues of fire licking up the walls and across the floor.

He tilted his head to the side and watched the fire burn, cleanse, his soul felt free like the grip around his heart had finally been released. The hand of iron was finally gone, the clouds of pheromones, dopamine and serotonin lifted, and he could think freely. "Like the Phoenix, I too shall be reborn with the aid of fire" he took a deep breath and enjoyed the smell of burning wood, the screams from the slowly gathering crown. He watched her as she ran from the burning building, her pyjamas lightly draped around her, blonde hair mixed in with pink flowing around her head.
Her normally milky white skin was partially covered by soot and she coughed heavily.

"See you little bitch, I told you that you wouldn't get away with your bullshit" he thought to himself as he watched the paramedics drape a blanket over her as she sat with a mask over her face. The flashing lights from the emergency response vehicles flooded the area with blue, orange and red lights. He sunk back into the shadows, and hid among the crowd as the firemen burst through the front door.
