In the 1990s, Georgia went to war… with itself.

Newly independent from the Soviet Union, celebrations were in order.

But less than a year later, Georgian blood would spill in the streets at the hand of their fellow citizens.

And it boiled down to pride and perspective- and perhaps Russian meddling.

Imagine one, quiet night you’re alone and suddenly feel someone enter the room.

All of your senses kick into high gear as you slowly turn your head.

In the dark you make out another set of eyes staring right back at you.

And though they seem human, you can tell that something just isn’t right.

It’s likely you’ve heard the phrase “Dancing in the rain.”

But what about “Singing while on fire”?

But literally singing.

While literally on fire.

One Georgian man did just that.
