Prologue
Alice's POV
I was that Sun. Something that once did shine, only to be lost in the darkness.
I lit another cigarette, focusing all my attention on the smoke rings, while trying to ignore the devastating similarities there once was between me and the sun. Looking up now at the moon and the stars didn't help much.
The stars were only what was left of the sun, smaller, scattered pieces, broken up and peeking through the darkness.
The stars were balls of gas, just like the sun, only they were useless and blended into the millions of others. There was nothing special or useful about a star, they were the suns that hadn't made it. They were the suns that fell behind and stayed in the darkness but they were not alone, and they still did shine.
The moon, a dry, lifeless, desolate, wasteland was what took the place of the shining sun. It was the opposite of the sun, it was death. Not shining like the sun or brilliant and surrounded by its own kind like the stars, the moon was just there.
If I was once the sun, now I was the dull, grey moon. Unlike the stars, I couldn't shine anymore and I was alone. I was the blank, lifeless figure hanging in the darkness.
I flicked my cigarette out the open window and wrapped my arms around my legs, pondering my new philosophy.
-xo-
Maybe seeing the future wouldn't be such a bad thing, nothing could be worse than constantly reliving the past. At least if I saw the future and knew what was coming, maybe change wouldn't be so intimidating because I could plan for it.
More like run from it. I pressed the cold glass to my lips and drank in the comfort I'd found in the bottom of countless empty bottles.
A/N: Shall we continue?
P.S. At the moment, this story is like my baby and I wish I could add my favourite quotes and parts to the prologue, but then I'd be giving away to much of the story.
Anyways, review if you'd like to learn more about this Manic Pixie Dream Girl.
