Reluctant, but surely... she took out a single match from the box and striked it by the side... the ignite startled the lil girL~ but she was quickly mesmerized by its sudden shine and illustrious warmth tat she'd been longing for.....
she stared innocently into the flame's center... following its every movement, its every flicker... it was hypnotic~ The warmth comforted her.... fears of her father slowly began to fade into the dark abyss tat was the night.... in the mits of the lone flame, she began to envision a table, fully laden with food and eatables...
There was mashed potatos and slabs of beef, a beautifully roasted turkey and some irish ale~ She could almost smell it... the juicy armoa of the turkey... the suppleness of the warm ale.... but the flame was soon blown out by the howling winds... and as quickly as it came, the dinning table of food was gone~
she quickly lit the 2nd match with up most anticipation.... this time within the blurr of the light, she saw behind the dinning table, a lavished christmas tree... on it were a million candles, burning ever so kindly~ beside the it stood her dearly departed grandmother, the only person who ever loved her... she smiled blissfully at the lil matchstick girL~ gesturing herto come forth.... she complied~
afraid of loosing this moment, she quickly lit the next match and the next to ensure her dear grandma would never fade.... they sat infront of the window and watched the stars dart across the winter night skys... she remembered her grandma telling her that a shooting star meant a person has passed and gone up to heavens~
Her grandmother gazed deeply into the lil girL's eyes... she spoke of a place where there would be no hunger, where there would be no cold, where there would be no fear~ she urged the lil matchstick girL~ to take her hand so tat she may fly her to this wonderous utopia...
the lil matchstick girL~ upon hearing those words, reached out without hesitation... she could finally be free of her abusive father and be with someone hu she loves n hu loves her....
"come now my child, take my hand...."
