The fire crackled. On Jutaire, without oxygen, the fire is different. Fed by different air. Maybe it wishes it were orange, for it sputters and reaches up to the sky with angry fists of blue and purple. It still doesn't know we can't all get what we want.

The fire crackled. On Jutaire, without oxygen, the fire is different. Fed by different air. Maybe it wishes it were orange, for it sputters and reaches up to the sky with angry fists of blue and purple.

It still doesn't know we can't all get what we want. The fire is different than on earth, because there is no oxygen in space. The fire does not crackle, for there is no oxygen to burn, but it still gives off heat.

It still burns. It still tries everything it can to survive even though there is no one to care about its survival or its burning.
