I haven’t been able to Fictioneer for a couple  of weeks but here I am visiting the Friday blog on Monday. Thanks Rochelle for the prompt.

Reader, when you have finished basking in the Ambience why don’t you go on over and read a submission or 10 from Rochelle’s other contributors.

AMBIENCE

by Joseph Elon Lillie

I light candles for ambience. Ambience is important to me. Somehow it makes the stacks of crap less crappy.

I’m sure she’d say, “You could clean.”

I use to… before.

But now living here, clean and dirty look about the same. It’s all still piles of stuff stacked against camper walls.  It only smells different and maybe that’s the point. I can stand the smell as long as I have candles to change the lighting.

There is something romantic about stink by candlelight.

I can remember the good times and nobody wants to get close enough to break my heart.
