Romans & histoires The Candle In The Wind

Montessa’s eyes reflected the sparks coming off his skin. “Don’t hold back, baby,” she said. “Let’s burn this place to the ground.” She put her hand on his shoulder and closed her eyes. The wind started around them, blowing candy and engine oil and baby food off the shelves. The wind fanned Lu’s flames, and they became higher and higher. “Burn,” she whispered, and the building ignited. Deadly Hanukkah candles. The most exquisite of joys in the most horrible of circumstances. “Burn,” she repeated and used her hand to direct Lu’s flames toward the bodies on the ground. The clerk seared and sizzled. Flames danced in his open mouth, in his throat. She saw firestorms in his eye sockets.

I stepped out carefully, and then walked slowly over to the Candle Dragon. It was fairly small, and a glowing, crystal-like white in colour. It was inlaid with delicate carvings, all of which looked like tribal patterns and intricate artwork. It depicted the elements: flame, wind, sea, and mountains. In its centre was a thick pillar candle. I wanted to wonder why, exactly, it was called the Candle Dragon, but I let the thought dissipate. I needed to keep my mind clear.

Landed on three thousand silent shields. Luna looked down at the candle by her feet. She bent over. Picked it up from the stone floor. The body of the candle was faintly damp from the snow. The wick was still intact. She held the candle in her left hand. Her right hand unhooked the flint from her waist. "You've said your piece. My turn." The flint sparked. A spark struck the wick. A tiny flame bloomed. The fine snow landed on the flame and melted instantly. The flame did not die.

Fire seems like the only way to make them see, to break the soundproofed barrier trapping me in this suffocating silence. I scan the room, my eyes frantically searching for something to ignite. The moonlight reveals an array of objects, each one a potential accomplice in my desperate quest for recognition. The flickering shadows play along with my erratic heartbeat as I grab a candle from the bathroom. The scented candle in my hand feels like a lifeline as I rush to the bathroom. The idea of setting the room ablaze still lingers, but a flicker of caution remains. I grab the candle, the scent of lavender soothing my senses momentarily. With determination in my eyes, I scan the room for someth

… Catelyn rushed to the port after receiving news that Windy had gone on a holiday on a cruise. Coincidentally, there was a windy winter that year. Catelyn covered herself with a scarf with only the top half of her face exposed in the cold air. She felt the cold wind digging into her body. She was surprised when she saw Windy on the cruise ship. Windy was wearing a sexy bikini and was wrapped in a loose bathrobe, surrounded by several sexy male models. She somewhat recognized those models as they were famous and often featured in magazines.

Ten seconds before the bomb detonated, I decisively clipped the blue wire, saving hundreds of lives inside the high-rise building. At the celebration dinner, Robert Vance—our bomb squad captain—handed the top honor to the new rookie, Vivian Reed. “Let the new girl have it. You don’t want people to say I favor you, do you?” Throughout our five years of secret dating, he had used this same excuse repeatedly to shut me up before I could even complain. Every life-threatening mission fell entirely on my shoulders. Yet every honor and public commendation was without fail handed to someone else. Clutching my bleeding side, I retreated to a corner. From afar, I watched Vivian accept the vibrant bouq

Out of nowhere, there is a chilling gust of wind that passes through the room, and the candles blow out! Hazel shouts, "You must mentally cut away any perceived darkness from around you! “ Layla whispers to Sunny, "I wonder if it’s windy outside?" Sunny nods and says, "It's strange how the wind suddenly picked up like that, especially inside this room! " But Sunny also knows that spirits have a way of communicating with the physical world, and the gust of wind could be a sign of their presence. Sunny decides to stay alert and observe any other unusual occurrences in the room.

After I was reborn, I burned every photo I had with Natalie Landers and tore up the three years' worth of love letters Kristen Rhodes had written me. In my last life, I'd been nothing but a joke caught between those two women. Natalie swore she loved me, but the moment I gave up my study-abroad spot for her, she left the country with Freddy Palmer. Before she left, she wrote me a letter, saying, "He needs me more than you do." I spent three months falling apart. Kristen brought me dinner every night and told me, "I've waited eight years for you." Once we were together, she came home on time every evening and never so much as looked at another man. I thought I'd finally bet on the right

Three years into our marriage, my husband, Colin Richardson, changed the username he'd used for six years. It became "AThousandAnswers." I asked him why. Colin ruffled my hair and smiled. "Doesn't your name have 'Ann' in it, silly?" I laughed. I even took a screenshot and posted it on social media with the caption: "My hopelessly unromantic husband just surprised me with the sweetest gesture." Then last weekend, I drove his car to pick up my mom. When I connected my phone to the bluetooth, another paired device popped up: "LoveHasAThousandKnots." Love Has a Thousand Knots. A Thousand Answers. My hand slipped off the steering wheel. That night, while he was in the shower, I opened t
