My Bonfires Strict Paper Diet

I have lit my tenth bonfire since I retired two months ago this one is gorgeous like the others a bit different she is burning all confidential records of children with 504 plans at my school no one needs these copies and I do not want them falling into the wrong hands my principal has the originals and I have uploaded all the 504’s into a computer system I watch two hundred pages go up in smoke confident they will remain confidential the bonfire pops and crackles her appreciation she loves cardboard and paper the best I have tried to feed her plastic, but that has a horrific smell So now I keep her on a strict paper diet
