When the haunted house catches fire:
a moment of indecision. 

The house was, after all, built on bones,
and blood, and bad intentions.

Everyone who enters the house feels
that overwhelming dread, the evil
that perhaps only fire can purge.

It's tempting to just let it burn.
And then I remember:

there are children inside.
