Posted at 14:17h, 08 MarchThis boy has started a wonderous journey, but after a horrible event he’s on his way home. But something draws his attention to the stars, they made him want to continue his journey. It was like the stars were cheering him on.

Posted at 21:55h, 19 AugustTom slowed to a stop in the clearing at sunset. He’d done this every night for the last two years, each night asking a new question. The other kids thought he was crazy, speaking to big balls of gas in space. But something just made him think that they would reply with answers, but tonight his question was deeper than the previous ones. “Is my father still alive?” He said. He’d been asking this to himself for years, as the vague memory of his Dad haunted him. He’d only met him once, but that memory had evaporated. He looked up to the night sky and saw a twinkle of light, then a flash. Then he heard a rather loud scream. “Aaaaaagggghhh!” The scream sounded like a girl around his age, as the voice was moderately deep. Then the voice landed. “Ow!” It cried.
Tom observed the creature. It was a girl made of stars. “What you looking at?” She snorted. Tom was taken aback by her comment, so much so that he refused to reply. “Right, okay.” She went on, “I’ve been chosen to help you find your Dad.” Tom smiled. So he was alive. “Who are you?” He asked. The girl turned around. She smiled broadly and giggled. “I’m Libra!” She grinned. Tom gasped. He’d just met a Zodiac…

Posted at 10:57h, 28 JanuaryOnce there was a girl called Marta she loved to go out on her bicycle. One day she went out during night and when she was nearly getting to the park when she looked at the sky and it was all colorful. It was the best thing she had ever seen. It looked like it was all a dream but she knew it wasn’t!!!
