???: What happened afterwards?
David: Well what happened was I was homeless and then was picked up by a van.
???: That's Not what we want to know.
David: then what do you want to know.
???: We already told yo-
David: I ALREADY TOLD YOU WHAT I KNOW.
???: All we need to know is what happened afterwards.
David: Fine...
What happened was after my house burnt down and I was homeless I went to a homeless shelter which was fucking horrible. It smelled like shit and the food there was so hard to come by that people would kill each other for a goddamn breadcrumb, but that's beside the point. After they told me what was up with the candles I just accepted it but in the back of my mind I knew it was bullshit. So to jump a little bit after about a month I heard on the news someone found 15 ancient candles in the basement of a house that got burnt down and was selling them to collectors. when I heard this I knew it was bad especially sense they were the black wax. I found out who was selling them but they said they sold them all. I asked him for the names of th-
???: What were those names.
David: I WAS FUCKING GETTING TO THAT YOU IMPATIENT...
Sorry. as I was saying I asked him for the names and he gave me a piece of paper with all 15 names on it, here.
???: Thanks. Can you tell me about the first candle on the list.
David: Umm... Ah I remember he was a wax collector who as soon as he got home he cut a but off the candle and lit it. When I found him he was in a coma.
???: Go on.
David: Umm... Well he was just in a coma.
???: No. I meant with the next person.
David: Oh. Well the second guy was a lot more weird. He ate his and got poisoned from it and died.
The third guy disappeared when he got his but I found him with the candle in it hand lit turned to fucking obsidian.
???: Wait... What? He was ob-
David: Yes solid obsidian.
The forth guy had no candle and was dead.
???: Did the candle kill him?
David: As far as I know. No.
???: what makes you say that?
David: His throat was slit.
???: Oh.
David: The Fifth guy way just gone.
???: Gone?
David: Yes. Gone.
???: What do you mean?
David: All that was left was a burn pattern in a human shape.
The sixth person was in jail and said he was mugged but arrested by the police.
???: For what?
David: Is it really important.
???: Guess not.
David: Well anyways the seventh guy was burnt alive in his own house.
The eighth guy's candle was stolen from his safe in his house.
The ninth was stolen from a child at her birthday party in front of everybody. they told me it was a male in a dark cloak.
The tenth was killed but what seemed to be werewolves I don-
???: Werewolves? What? They aren't real. So how the Fuc-
David: I don't Fucking know. but it wasn't humans and it wasn't wolves but it was both so... werewolves.
The eleventh was killed when he struck himself over the head with the candle repeatedly and thus destroying the candle.
The twelfth was killed buy a explosion originating from his houses heater system.
the thirteenth was killed by a Freddy Krueger like nightmare.
The fourteenth was killed by a bullet annihilating his head. his candle was not with him.
The fifteenth was killed by a hailstorm.
???: That last one is common.
David: It was in his house.
So in the end I got nine Candles, One was completely destroyed and five were missing.
