Sparklers Tracing Patterns on Library Table

Golden sparks cascade downward from handheld rods, painting erratic white trails against the dark, dusty surface of a heavy wooden table. The overhead view reveals scattered papers and a ceramic cup catching the warm, flickering candlelight that pools in the corners. Fine dust motes hang suspended in the air, illuminated by the sudden bursts of light. The rough grain of the table contrasts with the smooth, glowing lines of the burning metal. Shadows stretch long across the scattered documents, creating a stark boundary between the bright, active sparks and the deepening night. One spark lands on a page, leaving a tiny, smoldering char mark before fading.
