POV: you're a pumpkin candle, and this is your entire life 🎃

The story

The camera is the point of view of a small lit tealight candle that a hand drops from above toward a big carved pumpkin on a porch step at dusk. It bounces off the rim, slides down the wet orange inner wall and spins past the carved triangle eyes, with cold blue evening light flashing through. A gust of wind rushes through the mouth hole and the flame flickers wildly as the candle tips sideways, skids across pumpkin seeds and pulp, and almost goes out. Then a hand steadies it, the candle lands upright on the bottom of the pumpkin, the flame blooms back, and the whole carved face glows warm orange, ending with a quick push toward the grinning mouth. The episode is silent.
