        sparks burst from the hearth

Matches have been lit in this one because it leaves options open, such as which path to go, even though this will raise the pulse rate.

One way or another Lasaad, the heart rate will certainly be rapid, When blindfolded all the other senses become heightened, indeed I do leave options open, cheers David

I'm unsure whether someone is about to meet their demise, someone is engaging in BDSM or it's referring to Heather Keane's "Ellie Blake's Frostblood" I quote from Google.."Sparks leaped from the hearth and settled onto my fingers, heat drawn to heat, and glittered like molten gems against my skin."..Your work intrigues David - never have so few words made me pause and think and rethink for so long. Cheers - Gary

Heya Gary, that is some quote, fantastic literature, this one can go either way, maybe Bon Jovi's lyric (shot through the heart and your to blame darling you give love a bad name) is nearer the mark here, I'm delighted when my work gets people thinking, mission accomplished, cheers David

Well, this one leaves options open as to which path to follow. Flames are being fanned.
