First Spark

My arm twitched, then suddenly swung! The small brown cylinder snapped tight in my grip, completely under my command. I leaned forward on the soft carpet weave and reached out, tapping the tip of the stick right against the bright orange flame piece between us. A light plastic click echoed instantly. I really moved it myself! I let out a quick, excited gasp and tapped the flame piece once more, sitting firmly on the fibers with my stick held proudly in midair.
