The Opaque and Lights and Luminescence


Book Description

In the beginning it was lite and from the clerestory shows the luminescent. There was no other light except that coveted in the derelict grand building. All surrounding it was dark amidst the night. There was only a photon of light that burns ardor from the luminescent. It was silence throughout the night and the candle was lite. All around there was no sound except the burning of the wick and its ignition. There seems to be no life except the motion that was occurring from the candle wick burning the wax that was left in eldritch contour. There was transformation. -Carol Thuy Pham
