Liquid Fire Rocket

The living room was pitch black. Except for the corner! A tall glass rocket stood blazing on the low cedar console. Molten red wax trapped inside glowing amber liquid! Unacceptable to spectate from the floor! I vaulted off the floorboards, scrambled up the wooden drawer pull, and hit the tabletop at a dead sprint. Target dead ahead! I slammed both plush hands flat against the flared aluminum base. Heat surged straight into my palms! Deep, humming warmth. Right above my face, a colossal red sphere stretched thin, snapped loose, and drifted toward the glowing peak. Pure liquid fire! Night post secured!
