Little fire dancers, flicker in the flame, waiting to be noticed. Their bodies hypnotic as they move to silent music. The mesmerised audience are enticed and explore inner realms. Answers to life’s questions, big and small, revealed. Guidance and inspiration await to be tapped into, a weapon against the shadows.
Little fire dancers hear prayers and relay to the cosmos. Make a birthday wish, the tiny angels carry wishes with candle embers.
All blazes are snuffed eventually, starved for oxygen – a curse and a blessing. Be at ease, little fire dancers are one match strike away from ignition.
Word of caution: respect the flame dwellers, they can be volatile and spiteful. Conjure with risk.

Loved your story 😄😄. Should preyers be prayers?

Wise advice – never play with magic or fire, and definitely not both together! Good story 🙂

Fire is one of those things, can’t live with it or without it.

I struggled a bit with this one. One of those stories I kept reworking the sentences. At some point I had to say “stop nit picking”. 😀

Fire in a weird element, it can be your friend and offer warmth or it can be an enemy, burn & destroy.
Thanks R!

Thanks B. That line was partly inspired by bush fires. Sometimes it seems like they will last forever.
