Wow...thanks for pointing that out. It's one of those bits where I had it clear in my head what would happen, and thought that I'd included it in the rules. Obviously I hadn't. Maybe it got cut in editing, but it's an important part of the game. Basically, once the candle goes out, whether by burning down or blowing it , the stories come to a conclusion. I'll re-read how the rules currently stand, and look through the working document, but generally had the idea that once the light leaves the candle, this was another trigger for the end game when the light enters play and everyone gets a final chance to resolve their stories.
