“The Pit Beneath The Stars by Stewart Stafford R2D2's brother, aflame, Riptides of amber embers, A multitude of fireflies in flight, Under an arras of purple stars. Laughs and tall tales flow, A dragon's belch scorches, Sparks and choking smoke, In the moon's judging glare. The blaze, burning down, To a distant starry realm, Bedtime ticking closer, Creaking limbs go upstairs. © Stewart Stafford, 2023.

“Edward Campbell Lowe was a radical in his blood and in his bones... his maternal grandfather had famously made a bonfire with a valuable portrait of the Marquess of Bute because, he had declared, it was more than a man could stomach to encounter a Tory every morning before breakfast.” RadicalBonfireLeftiesRadicalsToriesToryBonfires Book:Beautiful Lies Source: Beautiful Lies
“I will gather up a lifetime of things unsaid, write them down, and then offer them all to be lit up for security and burned. All at once. And then I can watch the whole thing turn to ash. The whole damn thing. Light the match, and watch it burn. What a loaded bonfire that would be though, if this gets burned when I finish filling up the whole book. What a cleansing experience that will be! If flames could speak, what a story they would tell. They say that the original bonfires were the burning up of bones. Bad bones. Bad people. Enemies. Turning bones to ash. And it was the burning up of curses and all things bad as well. God knows we have had and still have enemies, and even curses. Real ones.” EnemiesCleansingConflict ResolutionBurning BooksBonfires Book:Mallias The Greek Gangster the story of a card cheat Source: Mallias The Greek Gangster the story of a card cheat
“Where was he now, old Patera Pike? Where did he sleep, and did he sleep well there at last? Or did he wake as he always had, stirring in the long bedroom next to Silk's own, his old bed creaking, creaking? Praying at midnight or past midnight, at shadeup with the skylands fading, praying as Viron extinguished its bonfires and its lanterns, its many-branched candelabras, praying as they were forfeited to the revealed sun. Praying as day's uncertain shadows reappeared and resumed their accustomed places, as the morning glories flared and the long, white trumpets of the night silently folded themselves upon themselves.” PrayingLanternsBonfiresMorning GloriesCandelabrasPatera PikePatera SilkSkylandsViron Book:Nightside the Long Sun Source: Nightside the Long Sun
