His emerald eyes are filled with starlight as he sits on the open windowsill, his long, black tail slowly swishing to and fro. Each star, he knows, represents a force in the cosmos. At one time, he believed he could have played with them all in his paws, but now he's older. He's wiser, and sadly, with that age and wisdom, comes less hope.

He still knows that every star is a life force, and now, each one makes him think of a life he once tried to save, of a life that encouraged him to take the reins of the world in his paws that had then been hands and try to save them all. He had tried, but he had failed. Now, as the stars slowly disappear from the night sky, a life force going out with each disappearing twinkle, Salem hangs his head and cries.

The End
