Candlelight

The wine looks like blood, Remus muses and makes the liquid swirl. No fine wine-glasses for him because they are too expensive. Besides, Remus rather likes ordinary things. They hold no secrets and are easy to understand.

Like the armchair he's sitting on. It's old and looks like it, made in the fifties. But it's also comfortable, not hiding poking springs or sharp slivers. It's no wonder that after moving in Remus has taken a habit to spend his evenings on it, reading in a candle-light and not thinking anything particular.

He never notices how the shadows behind him dance.

The End.
