Drift into a quiet world as Lily Chen narrates a bedtime story about a small brass lantern that learns to glow without a flame. In this five-minute Micro Tale, a forgotten lantern rests on a windowsill in an old stone house, holding a single beeswax candle that has not been lit in many seasons. As evening settles, the candle remembers the warmth of July and the slow drift of moths past the glass — and discovers that light can come from remembering, not just from a flame. Lily Chen narrates this soft, whispered story designed to ease you into restful sleep. The candle glows on its own, not bright, just enough to turn the glass the color of weak tea. A keeper enters and sits beside the lantern, lets the small quiet glow be enough. Outside, the wind moves through the garden. Inside, the candle holds its gentle, remembering light until the house settles into a soft, unhurried night.
