... since we are here for you, and everything will be just right. :heart:

~~~

At 3am two days ago, when I heard something terrible had happened to a good friend, I couldn't stop but keep thinking "What can I possibly do for her?"
Then I decided to take this picture, although it was quite late at night :sleepy:

I was glad she loved it. :hug: And I was even happier when I knew that fate had smiled back at her. :dummy:

~~~

It took me several minutes to come up with this idea.

I kept a dozen matches standing on the floor using blu-tack. Luckily one of my friend was still awake, and he helped to hold a small LED torch above the matches shining downwards. This was to make focusing in the dark easier and to add some light to the scene as well.

~~~

Hope you'll like this :)

As some (including myself) say, the best ideas often strike us late at night, as our sleep-deprivation is starting to get the best of us, tearing down the limits we (sub)consciously set on ourselves. Nevertheless, you have indeed conjured up a clever concept and implemented it in an excellent manner. I also commend the symbolic interpretation possibilities provided by the scene, it does make me think (again and again).

Well done!
