Dark and murky

I have a very large glass candle holder, you know the sort that has a fine sand in the bottom and the candle sits in the sand.  It is sort of like a very large wine glass.  Well anyway, with all the rain it is completely full of water which was handy to extinguish some sparklers I was using the other night.   Long story which will be explained in due course.

Looking at this today reminded me of an old Twilight Zone episode I saw as a child which has clearly scarred me for life where someone kept some precious things in a jar full of water such as a glass eye, a ribbon and the like.   In the end, well you can guess, it turned out to be a real eye and the person was a murderer.  No wonder my parents weren't keen on me watching it.

Submitted as an abstract this week for Ingeborg's challenge of fill the frame.
