Sacrifice

[milo]

Those breaks and 'ever so slowly' are there to represents and simulates the length of time for the 'sacrifice' to expire. Do you know who and/or what she is my friend?

I figured her for a.candle. originally I thought she was one of those prayer candle we light for the dead but I don't see support for that so I am sticking with candle. Maybe a storm knocked the power out?

I thought pyre and the title were enough support. And the asphyxiation alludes pretty strongly to death. The virgin reference may suggest a religious rite.

There is plenty of suggestion, just no confirmation.

ok smarty pants, what is your answer. And "some kind of religious ceremony" isn't enough.

I almost see "joan of ark" except for all of the candle references, I don't remember any candles in that old yarn
