Outstanding. I'm not sure if the use of onomatopoeia is deliberate but it is most definitely effective. What's amazing is that it's a story about sparklers that takes about the same time to read as a sparkler sparkles. Great work. ๐Ÿ‘

Thanks, Alex. With so few words to play with, I found I needed to choose each one carefully, for its meaning but also for its sound & musicality โ€” almost like a poem. At least thatโ€™s what I was trying to do.

I always appreciate your positive feedback and encouragement, but perhaps even more so this time, since this one is such a departure from what I normally do.
