Whispers in the Dark


You cup your hands around the candle. The little flame stops shaking. It glows warm and gold between your fingers.

Then you hear it. A soft whisper from the shadows. "Pip... Pip..." It sounds like someone calling your name. The darkness in the corners seems to swirl and grow.

Something wants you to look away from the flame.


Keep your eyes on the flame and hum a brave song.
Turn to see who is whispering.
Go Back

? Whatever you do, the flame needs you!
