I'm back ;) I was bored, so I played a little game with myself. I would close my eyes, open them, and then write about the first object I saw. I saw a candle lol, so this is a drabble about candles.
You wouldn't expect this to be dark, but it's me, I can find something dark in just about anything ;P So it's really short and weird, but I hope you enjoy!

Candles.
Such a simple, delicate, item.
Yet so dangerous.
Sonny's fingers waved back and forth over the flame, watching it flicker and sway. The small source of light offered poor illumination, but just enough for Sonny to see. She was sitting cross-legged on her bed, her eyes dark and hollow, glazed over with un-shed tears. The candle light made shadows dance along her face, making her appear sad, and lonely.
Heck, she was sad and lonely.
Sonny drew in a ragged breath and drew her fingers towards the flame yet again, her eyes widening slightly as her index finger brushed the tip of the flame. The line between good and bad began to blur as Sonny continued to tempt the flames, feeling herself being drawn to it. She accepted the dance with the dark, evil, flame. And look what happened. Sonny, getting a little too daring and careless, put her hand right in the flame. Sonny gasped, jerking her hand back slightly as the hot flame burned her finger. The movement jolted her bed, making the candle tip over.
Within seconds, hot wax was all over Sonny's leg, burning it. Not only that, but the candle lit the blanket on fire.
Sonny let out a low moan and jumped back, ignoring the pain in both her leg and her hand, her eyes widening as she watched the flames rise and grow until they danced along the ceiling.
Oh, poor Sonny. Did she not know that if you play with fire, you get burned?

But please review! I'd love to hear what you think!
