A story with a surprise! Love how you set up the metaphor with a delightful musing on a cozy fire you're missing. Then, a switch to detailed research on how to build a fire—where are you going with this? Oh, a question, and the answer was the surprise—made me laugh out loud. The description of your family life is fascinating, and with that, voila — you tie the story-parts together. You are the spark!
