seeing the light

These are paper filament incandescent electric light bulbs, invented by Thomas Edison in the late 19th century.

 Illumination is produced when an electric current heats the interior wire filament to a high enough temperature to make it glow.

Imagine a love affair that enacts this story of light – the intense heat generated to make love will burn as intensely as it illuminates.

Write the story to the moment when illumination burns. Call the story Edison’s Light.
