Stiffly, she used her foot to circle a small pile of straw, then fumbled on the ground for two small rocks, using them to strike a fire with the little heap of straw.
It really wasn't an easy task, her bound hands made it hard to apply force, not to mention this was a "technical job." She struck over a dozen times without any result, threw away the stones, and searched again. Repeating the process no less than a hundred times, she finally ignited the straw.
Unable to help herself, she sneezed several times in a row, feeling that things might indeed be turning for the worse...
She quickened her pace, found some small wood chips in the pile on the ground, used her foot to stack them with the straw, and lit a tiny fire. Then she began to use the fire to burn the rope binding her hands.
Being licked by flames was excruciating!
