Hello corkies! Make sure you listen to this one with the lights on as Paul takes us through Cursed Candle Games! The human spirit is like a flame. Strong, powerful, bright, but fragile. It takes just one gust of wind or splash of water to extinguish it, letting the darkness take over. We are always one move away from all encompassing darkness. This metaphor can be seen in real life, with these dangerous candle rituals--that some even call games. But heed our warning, little lights, you're always one move away from having your candle blown out!
