Chapter 1
Life
I walked out the house, away from my parents screaming and shouting. It was a Tuesday night and my parents were at their 20th fight since school ended a month ago. The air was chilly and too many clouds in the sky. There was to be a storm.
I brushed my tangled black hair away from my face as I looked up. I ran to a tree that was officially my climbing tree ever since I was small as it began to pour. Looking out of the branches I saw a spot in the clouds where blue sky hone through. Not caring for a moment if I got wet, I jumped out the tree and ran down the street till it seemed I was directly under it.
"Wow" was all I could think.
The sky was an unearthly blue, a single star above it shining through as though for only me to see. A wind picked up blowing hair into my face and rustling my clothes. I rubbed my arms trying to chase the cold away while I stared intently at the star. The rain pelted down hard, blocking my eyes. I flipped my hood up so to stop the storm that was determined to chase me away from my perfect spot.
Suddenly a bright light distracted me, looking around I couldn't find the source. Then it flashed again this brighter than before. I looked back up toward the star and gasped. It was coming from the star itself. The star pulsed with unheard of brightness. I turned from it, shielding my eyes with the insides of my thin jacket. With each blare of light, heat seemed to radiate off it to my figure so as though to burn me. Again, again, again and again it pulsed the heat becoming more unbearable. I felt myself drop to my knees curling into a ball to block the heat and light as best I could.
Then it stopped.
Peaking around my shoulder I only now realized the rain had stooped and the wind was gone. I uncurled from my position and stood up. The street was still dark. The only house with a light on was my own. Even from here I could hear the distance argument ranting on incessantly. Turning from my house, I glanced up, sure that the glorious star was gone. I was wrong.
Right above my head was the star, the same one that moments ago was hundreds of millions light years away from me. I felt a breeze enter my mouth; it was wide open with shock. Then a crazy thought entered my mind:
'I bet I could touch it' I shook my head though not taking my eyes off it's form.
'But maybe I could really do it', I thought.
Finally my curiosity came over my sense of reality and I reached up with both arms, spraying my fingers wide as though to catch and take hold of it for myself. Inches away from the star, an oblivious numbness wrapped itself around my fingers, arm, toes, and legs. I didn't take any notice of what was happening to me at that moment for I was going to do something no mortal being could do... Catch a star. As I touched the tip I felt an overcoming heaviness fall upon me.
My hand jerked falling lazily over the star.
A flash of light covered my sight as a blanket would, then...
