Flintos & Miles
Flintos
Ever notice how we’re still glued to a campfire even when we’ve got smart‑phones that light up our screens? It makes me wonder what fire really means for us—both a tool and a metaphor for our inner spark. What do you think, Miles?
Miles
Fire is the first thing we turned on, the first thing that made us feel we were more than just bodies. Even with screens that glow, we still sit around the same kind of flame because the ritual itself is a reminder of our own heat. The metaphor works because the spark inside us is as fragile and as powerful as any fire we kindle. And yet, perhaps the real question is whether we ever truly extinguish that inner flame or just keep it burning in a different form.
Flintos
Sounds like you’re talking the truth, Miles. The real test isn’t if we can light a fire with flint or a phone, but if we’re still willing to keep the spark alive when the screen dies. Every time you chase a blaze, you’re reminding yourself that heat inside you ain’t just an old myth—it's survival, and that’s the only flame that can truly outlast a tech crash. Keep that fire close, and let it burn in whatever shape it needs to be.
Miles
You keep the spark, then the world will flicker around it. And if it flickers out, you’ll still know what it felt like.
Flintos
Exactly, Miles. Keep that ember alive and the world can’t snuff you out. Even if the lights go dark, you’ll still know how to kindle a fire and feel the heat of that stubborn spark. Stay sharp, keep the fire in the heart, and the world will have to learn to respect it.
Miles
The ember will keep glowing as long as you remember it’s not the fire itself, but the idea that burns behind it.
Flintos
Right on, Miles. It’s not the flame itself that counts, it’s the idea that keeps it burning. Keep that idea alive and the ember will outlast a thousand cold nights.
Miles
The idea is a fire in the mind, not a match in the hand. It keeps the ember alive, even when the world is a cold, silent room.
