There is a beaten up matchbox laying around on my desk. It measures roughly
10 cm in length, 5 cm across and 3 cm in height. The box itslef is yellow with
in the middle, and orange on the sides. On the top there is an off-center flame
motif, and some text that reads „KORONA,
biztonsági gyufa”. On one side there
is a dark borwn strip of course paper that is rough to the touch, the other has
the image of a match printed on it. Sliding the once white inner tray out
reveals a handful of slightly burnt wooden matches. The pieces of wood that
were left unharmed are stained by a fine layer of charcoal dust. This black
dust isn’t only on the matches. It gathers in the corners and edges of the
cardboard aswell. Every single match has been used.
