THE FLAME
What it was: the brass rod the show's marquee letters hung from, taken down the night the marquee went dark. Whose it was: the ticket-booth kid's, who swept up after the show for six years and never once saw it. Its stream burns this color in the night — and whatever the flame, every muerto it calms still warms to marigold on the way home.
IN THE HAND
It doesn't cast yet. Old Snast says it will. Until then it rides in your Satchel beside the instrument you cast with.
