Solitary maker of roman candles in a minimal workshop
Mealing Roman Canates, described as the most solitary person in the world during working hours, crafts roman candles in a tiny, sealed space. He earns wages despite limited tonal influence, living in a cramped, improvised room with a floor space under eight feet. The setting is a simple steel-walled station sixty yards from any other structure, where a possible explosion would cause little financial loss, yet the owner must manage explosives for his business, including roman candles and gun projectiles stored in magazines.
