Well that was bizarre but a really need and trippy idea. The potential visual is stunning as well. However your writing wound up pretty jumbled in this one with some odd or inconsistent choices. The line about not being sure it’s a dream stands out from a grammar standpoint, and the use of “inert” doesn’t seem to fit [ie, inert roman candles would be dark and not emitting any light at all]. Lots of potential here and not where I think anyone saw the story going, but it could use a careful edit.

Hmm. I was going for motionless, but with roman candles, there’s chemistry, and if it’s inert, it’s kaput. Thanks for the feedback.
