I hope this is the right place to post this. I'm working on a short story and could use some help. I've been researching how to burn down a professional kitchen and need some help. I'm writing a horror story and the Main character (a woman named Felecia) is dragged into the kitchen of the restaurant. (It's a bad place. They serve Long Pig- human meat- and she's the next menu item.) She frees herself from her attacker. Now I'm hoping to have her start a fire and burn the place down. (And escape) Except, I'm having trouble figuring out how to burn the place down.
The restaurant I'm picturing is a small, trendy restaurant with a small kitchen. It's in Philadelphia, in a reworked building that didn't have a lot of space to begin with.
so my question is: How can my MC start a fire in a professional kitchen? Is this possible for a non-cook to do?
Thank you for any advice or tips. If anyone has a different suggestion as to how she can destroy the place and escape, I'd love to hear it. This is driving me crazy!
