Bright Stars

(Challenge: Drabble)

I rested my chin on my paws, staring up at the night sky. A tear rolled down my cheek as a cold wind ruffled my grey fur. The stars above were twinkling but very weakly and dimly, like they were about to fade away.

Are you there? I silently asked.

I had lost my family to a battle. I still remember the happy times I had with them, but now they were gone. All gone. I felt lonely and cold.

Sometimes a lone star would shine brightly. I smiled. Maybe it was them watching over me.
