a candle
a candle stands, glowing dimly. it is uncertain if the dim glow is because of a characteristic of the wick, or the wax.sometimes, gusts of wind threaten to extinguish the candle's flame. although it has faltered in the wind, the flame still persists.
sometimes, other candles are placed near, sharing their warmth and glow with the candle.
the candle does not know when or whether its characteristics will change as it burns. it does not know when the wind will blow, it does not know when it will be accompanied by other candles. its faith lies in the master of the house. perhaps the candle's flame had been extinguished before, the candle is unsure. had it been extinguished on prior occasions, it could only have been the master who relit the candle, with a lighter or the flame from another candle.
