The Hearth and the Salamander.

"One drop of rain. Clarisse. Another drop. MIldred. A third. The uncle. A fourth. The fire tonight. One, Clarisse. Two, Mildred. Three, uncle. Four, fire, one MIldred, two, CLarisse. One, two, three, four, five, Clarisse, Mildred, uncle, fire, sleeping-tablets, men, disposable tissue, coat-tails, blow, wad, flush. One, two, three, one two, three! Rain. The storm. The uncle laughing. Thunder falling downstair. The whole world pouring down. The fire gushing up in a volcano. All rushing on down around in a spouting roar and rivering stream toward morning."
"Farenheit 451", Ray Bradbury.
