It's a scene from Phil Geusz's "Chosen People". I think that Terrie Smith's only artistic liberty was to not show the scene as full of smoke and more fire, distorting heat waves, and falling ash -- they're described in the story -- or you couldn't see much else. What he's going to shoot in the fire, why there's a giant clanking chain, and why he is staring up are answered in the story.
