Running on empty

You know how a candle will slowly grow dimer, and dimer right before it goes out. And the light starts to fade away. But, what if a sudden burst of life came into that flame of the candle, and made it shine brighter than before. And the flame would never go out again. Because, you knew that there was something protecting it. No gusts of wind, or people trying to mess with the flame. None of that, because that candle would be safe.
