The lamplighter
Every October, Old Wick walks Hollow Row with a candle burning on his head and a hook to light the lamps. He does not sell candles. He keeps one burning.
This year he hung his lantern on Solana. Every trade lets a drop of wax fall inside. Nine drops in ten stay in the lantern. One he keeps for the walk.
On the last night of October the candle gutters, the lantern cracks, and the wax runs out as SOL. First to the circle nearest the flame, then to the line of lanterns behind it, then to every window that kept a candle lit.
