Failure to Light

Ever been part of a "perfect" holiday tradition that went completely, hilariously sideways? 🤔I'm sharing a memory from my childhood as an altar boy, on the most important night of the year: the Christmas Eve midnight service. It involves two nervous acolytes, a brilliant new invention (wax-free candles!), and a secret practice run that combined to create… well, a massive failure to light. 🔥😂It's a story about good intentions and the chaos that sometimes follows. I can still feel my arms burning from holding that heavy cross while it all unfolded!📖 Read A Failure to Light on my websiteHello, I'm D. K. Wall, author of novels and short stories.
