"Hm, alright then, let's give this a shot..." Madison held up the dowel so that it was about a foot away from her face. She eyed the tip, concentrating on it, then noticed the blurred figure in the background slightly shifting. She trained her sight on Mr. Kessinger, the dowel now being the blurry object, and she rehearsed what he had said to her just moments ago. [i]Here goes nothing,[/i] she thought to herself as the focused on the dowel again. This time, Madison kept her concentration and with ease, she lit the tip of the dowel, the orange flame dancing wildly and giving off a steady flow of heat which warmed Madison's face, although not to an uncomfortable point. She now concentrated on keeping the small flame at the tip, her eyes narrowing as her mind was barking off orders, something she couldn't control at times. Slowly, the flame grew less wild, taking up less space as Madison had wanted it. She was nearly about to complete her first assignment when a loud knock on the door broke through the silence. Madison gasped in response, the flame disappearing along with her concentration. She looked at Mr. Kessinger with disappointment as she lowered her hand, thinking that maybe she'd have to redo her assignment all over again.
