what makes them happy: Mau held it closely, the little light in the darkness. A spark, a flash of red before their eyes, the thrill he felt when the little light lit up. He kept it close, but far enough not to burn himself. He’d stare carefully, entranced at the small flame. He’d watch as the flame rose, then slowly dwindle down, until the light went out and the last spark vanished. Every time he lit it up and then watched it go out, he would stare at every detail. Every flame that licked past his eyes and every little piece of ash that floated to the ground.
Mau had never seen something like this, so beautiful, so raging, a small spark would light everything up in flames, but the moment he held it, it was all in his control. A flash of light in the darkness of his home. What a magical creation this little flame was. If he were to describe what he felt when he saw the light, the sparkle of flame held at the end of his fingertips, he could only use happiness. Happiness from seeing the light. So Mau would sit in the dark with a box filled with matches, then one after another, after another, he’d light them up, then watch them go out, until a pill of ash lay at his feet, only then he felt truly happy.
