| Vinx, don't be too worried about it. This is one I wish I'd never submitted ;P. It was one of my first. But for your sake here is an explanation of the rubbish that was swirling in my head when I wrote it.

See how the WOOD is in the fire ie. it had to have been put there, and to put wood on a fire is to 'stoke the fire'. I hope that's clear?
