Line #35 Fanfic/Ashinyourmouth


1	Johnny is pretty sure he's starting to lose his mind. There's a couple reasons for this. The first is he's been seeing things that nobody else can see. The second is he's been having weird dreams involving fire and a man made of metal. His attempts to get to the bottom of whatever's going on in Mayview sweep him into a world he's not prepared for. Most kids would be thrilled about getting superpowers, but for Johnny there's just one, simple problem: he's completely and absolutely scared to death of fire.
2
3	Complicated matters is the fact that he's harboring a massive crush on the new kid in town - and the spirit possessing him seems to have plans of his own.
