The real By the Fireplace
It is winter, the family is sitting in the living room by the fireplace. The electricity has failed, which is why everyone has gathered around the warming source and is staring spellbound into the flames. Every half hour, the father throws new briquettes into the stove, as a precaution, so that the only source of light and heat does not go out. Every time he opens it, the smell of burning wood permeates the room.
Hungry, the family munches on a pack of dried plums. Just before the power went out, the grandmother was making dinner - there was going to be roast and sauerkraut. Half-cooked, the beautiful meal now smells abandoned in the kitchen, only making them hungrier.
Stories are told to pass the time. The children listen intently to the adults' tales of times when this was a perfectly normal situation. Whiskey and beer is brought out of the cellar to add to the cozy atmosphere.
After some time, the electricity is running again, the food can be enjoyed belatedly and the fire slowly goes out. Only the whiskey glasses that have not been cleared still give off their aromatic, full scent.
