Candle

Phil McCrackers discovered he could light candles with his mind.

It was an exciting time to be alive for Phil.

The McCrackers family didn't know about his power.

Phil kept it to himself.

He would ensure birthday candles stayed lit when children tried to blow them out.

Because that's the sort of guy he was.

And sometimes he'd light candles he could see through house windows.

He liked it when the families were in bed.

He imagined what sorts of arguments they might have about leaving candles the next morning.
