Hannah Drake, ‘”The lights of people’s lives”‘, Pen, 2013. “He grabbed the doctor hard with his icy hand that the young man could not resist. Then he led him down into an underground cave. There the doctor saw thousands and thousands of candles burning in countless rows, some large, some medium, others small. With every moment some went out and others flared up again, so that the little flames seemed to be constantly changing and popping up and down.’You see,’ said Death, ‘these candles are the lights of people’s lives…'”  -Grimm’s fairy tales
