"Ah thought, if ah hadnae gone tae thuh woods then maybe things woulda been different. But it's not different. It never will be. That's why I became a doctor. ... That's why...I never left Gerald, even when the fire came in our hoose an' burned us tae ashes. Ah didnae want Gerald to suffer, like my brother did. No one deserves tae die alone."

The companion piece to the "Burning Father" that  jamescorck did sometime ago. Mary with her powers over water and all types of liquid properties fully realised in her afterlife, to face against the smouldering flames of hatred that have consumed her husband. I really love how this looks, it makes her oddly villainous but it has a great strength behind it that I wanted from Mary.
