Found in the Dark

Each night in Konombe around 6:45pm, the lights paused a slow off and on, ultimately leaving us in the dark for an extended period of time. "This happens," Alex explained to us that first night. "It is the same time each night." A young man entered the sitting room quietly with a flame. Tilting the candle, he let a drop of wax ease onto the center of the saucer and placed the candle on it, securing it in place. Had there not been darkness, I would have missed the beauty of this light.
