Phoenix 🐦🔥 - A Bed of Embers - 🎞 Buddy Story ; part 49
Returning inside from the evening avenues, my gaze settled upon the quiet hearth. A blackened pine cone had rolled away from the grate, its charred scales tangled in stray gray ash across the smooth slate floor. Planting my boots firmly against the cool flagstone, I knelt beside it. With steady hands, I lifted the brittle cone and carried it to the cast-iron brazier, nesting it gently over a bed of dry cedar tinder. Resting my palms near the cooling metal rim, I watched the stray soot settle into absolute, warm stillness.
