  5. A lantern is a lamp with a light coming out of it and it’s bright and nice and guides you in the middle of the night and can take you places and make you feel safe. The last time I remember seeing a lantern was in a Korean drama called My
    Tutor Friend where the girl and the guy are standing beside a lantern in the middle of the night and he wants to confess his love to her but then she pukes on him cause he’s drunk.

  8. The lantern dangled from my tired hand. I had to keep walking through these woods. “Everyone says they’re haunted, you know,” Kiko said while walking next to me. “They say if you get caught here at night without a light, your finished.”
    “I know,” I said. “That’s why we have to keep walking.”

  10. Lanterns are coooool. Very cool. What makes a lantern a lantern? I wonder. Wonder so much that it gives me a headache. Who came up with the word “Lantern”. Hmm. All questions that will never be answered. Eternal questions of life.

  11. The lantern shown with a a glow much warmer than the night. He could see his breath come out in a cloud of white– like a ghost. The thought made him smile. He picked up his pace, pushing through the crowded street.

  13. My lantern burns brightly
    Like my face
    MY FACE
    I ate a face the day my lantern went out
    I was hungry

    What was I supposed to do?

    Do not light a lantern
    It’ll only burn out
    And I’ll eat a face

    Your face.

  14. the lantern is glowing, the lantern is bright. The fire will go out if you don’t put up a fight.
    Sometimes a lantern makes me want to camp, but other times it just makes me want to find a lamp. we live in modern times why use one of those, well if you really want to, be careful not to burn your toes.

  16. The lantern was the only thing separating him from the night. A cold lonely feeling that could only be solved by running, running with the light until the warmth of the sun would love him again.

  17. The lantern glowed in the jail cell, and all I could see were the beady little eyes of the rats that had crawled into bed with me the night before. I felt cold, and the dampness of the air caused my lungs to fill up faster,and faster.

  21. If i told you one thing about a lantern, it would be a lie. The light is nothing against the darkness of a barn. The flame is thin, small, a tiny thing in a large expanse. I feel large in its shadow and small in your arms. I don’t like this lantern. It’s too bright. I would like the dark to eat it. The flame should stop fighting.

  27. Lanterns are used to drive darkness away. A lantern can be someone’s last refuge from the complete darkness of the world. In older times they were used by travellers to stave back the wilds of the dark. Why is light only important when we don’t have it?

  28. a lantern hanging in an alaskan wooden cabin is the only source of light during the winter. so much depends on the lantern! cooking, cleaning, walking, sleepings, etc. it makes you appreciate electricity a little more.
