The Candle Maker

The Candle Maker

By GoldenSpeechPublished 3 months ago 1 min read

In a small town, a candle maker named Elias is famous for crafting candles that emit scents triggering vivid memories. But he harbors a secret: the memories are not always the owner’s—they sometimes belong to someone long dead.

A curious customer discovers a candle that brings back a horrifying event from the past, and Elias realizes that his craft is awakening spirits that have been trapped for centuries.

The climax: Elias must destroy the workshop and his life’s work to stop the spirits from crossing into the living world, but the most powerful candle, already lit, may be too late to contain.
