Carmin rolled her shoulders after an hour. Like she had everyday, she was burning polished wood to give to Mr Hendren. She had already made one wood design. She rolled out her wrists, then made her index finder turn to a glowy melting metal type glow. She didn't light it on fire, because it would just burn the piece of wood. She drew a picture in her mind of what she wanted it to look like, then began burning the design into the smooth wood with her finger.
