Josh didn't understand why he was so focused on the candle.
It was not unlike him to get stuck on an idea and carry it with him for days, but this was different.
It was as if the thing were calling him, tugging him towards it.
No, he stopped and pulled inward, needing a break from his surroundings.
In his mind, the candle dripped.
Little feet dislodged from the base, shadows shifted on the wall.
Oh shit.
The idea that such a thing existed made Josh feel both small at the top of a rollercoaster and too big for his skin.
If inanimate objects could animate, if things really weren't as they seemed, what other secrets might the world be hiding?
Maybe the floor would one day open under his last step and then close, leaving behind an empty space as if Josh had never existed, and he'd fall, fall, and keep falling into the dark.
A world like that would be horrible.
He needed to light the candle.
He had to prove it was only that, an ugly candle.
Josh heaved, less from exertion of cleaning and more from the spike of anxiety.
He wiped his sweaty palms on his pants.
His face was hot and itchy.
He clasped his hands, squeezed and sucked in air.
Do not light this candle again.
The foreman from his last factory job popped into Josh's head.
The guy only let him sweep and mop, take out the trash and man the recycler.
