WAXWAKE THE LANTERN THAW

A LITTLE WARMTH. A LITTLE WONDER.

Wake the night.

Some spirits are stuck in yesterday’s wax.
Leave an ember. Let the copper carry it home.

Wake every spiritWarmth of at least 32

Keep moons intactWarmth of at most 18

Ceramic blocks heatCopper carries it on four sides

How warmth works

Embers hold at 100. Each beat, copper shares warmth with its four neighbors and loses a little to the air. Ceramic blocks the flow. The tray is judged after 24 beats. Numbers are fictional warmth units.

Tap a socket again to remove an ember. Arrow keys move between sockets; Space places one. Enter runs the thaw; R clears the tray. You can change your plan and try as often as you like.

THE NIGHT’S WORK

0 / 8 spirits’ trays

A small ritual for a long autumn evening.

No timer. No hurry.
Every wrong turn leaves a little light.
