I hear your sentiment and am right there with you. But this is a fast fiction entry. I don't see a story line. It sounds like very free flow thoughts. A story needs beginning, middle, end. Character. Plot. Setting. I'm not getting that structure here. Thanks for sharing and receiving feedback.

Look at my notes and you will see the reason for lit candles! I am insulted by your rating. It is called Flash Fiction.
Comment from Jay Squires
Hey, Kay. Long time away and now I get to experience your warm gifts again. Thank you for sharing your Dribble Fiction piece. We can all use a candle to light our way. And such beautiful candles you chose as your image. It's 83 degrees F, here in California. As I read your poem and experience the gleam of your candles, I feel like turning on the air conditioning.

Hey Jay, Glad to hear from you. It is turning to winter here. Sub tropical climate, living near the Pacific Ocean where the whales come every year to calve. Thank you my friend. Best wishes, Kace XX

I have a lit candle for my parents. Your little flash fiction tale reads like poetry/prose and has a smooth feel to it, especially when reading it out loud. Now is definately the time to light a candle.

Hi Kay. Lighting a candle is still in fashion and I do it all the time. Somehow it does bring peace and hopefully does bring loved ones home (at least in spirit). Best of luck in the contest. Marilyn

I appreciate your author note. It helped me understand the true meaning of your story in a poem. I like the idea of lighting a candle to represent new life without strife. If a candle was lit for each person who lost their life to the virus, it would brighten the world.

Interesting choice for dribble--story told in hybrid free verse / rhyme! Thanks for notes to give backstory and context re wandering spirits vs mortals. Good luck.

Comment from Iza Deleanu
You are so right we don need to light up lots of candles in our windows , so the hope can find her way back to us: "Light a candle for hope, show them their way home. Candle lit so they don't roam. Bring light into your life, new life showing no strife."

You did a great job with your contest entry, Aussie. I enjoyed the rhyme and love the sentiment of lighting a candle to show the way home. Your words are well-chosen and descriptive. The animated image is perfect, too. Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

Hello Jannypot, Tee, Hee. Thanks so much for reading and glad you enjoyed. We must keep the faith. May He bless you, make His light to shine upon you and bring you peace. Love, Kay xxx
Comment from Gloria ....
Beautiful presentation in the flash fiction contest. While it might seem like fiction that we can hope for a better tomorrow, that burning candle signifies hope that it might come true one day.
A fine job and I wish you great good luck with the Committee. :)
