Extract from "Candles for Kathy" In this scene, Luke is explaining to flatmate Jack why he lights a candle every night before going to sleep. Luke: One night I struck a match in the dark. And I just watched it burn. I held it in my hand and I watched it burn. It didn't take very long; well, it wouldn't, would it? It was just...
