Edmund stood in the kitchen. Aunt Judy and himself were up but everyone else was still in their bedrooms. The early morning air was warm and the sun already shone as he fiddled about with Aunt Judy's overly load radio, and tried to get a signal. It was not that Aunt Judy was a fan of load noise, very much the opposite, but the radio had broken and seeing as she lived in the middle of nowhere Aunt Judy had never bothered to have it fixed.
Susan wondered in, after another bad night's sleep and helped herself to porridge, she was pale looking, almost the colour of her white nightgown.
Edmund glanced over at her but didn't say anything; he turned back and continued playing with the radio.
Susan ate her breakfast in silence; she kept staring at the broken radio, as Edmund still tried to get a signal from it, until she'd had enough. "Turn it off, Ed" she ordered him wearily.
"Sorry" he told her "but I want to listen to it, they might say something on the stars."
"Why you'd care about it so much?"
"It's interesting."
"Creepy more like." Susan gulped down another lump of porridge and continued to glare at the radio. Why can't we live in a world without those blasted things, with proper music that is played before you, and less of these noisy distractions?
Although the stars made Susan feel rather uneasy, there was defiantly something special about them. It had been a month now. Sunset had come, and night had fallen, but the stars that appeared in the sky were not our stars, they were a completely different constellation. For the first few days there had been panic, until it was realised that there wasn't any danger and that planet Earth was still in its same position. Scientists all over the world had been working for a theory on how there could be sudden change in the nights sky. But so far, no possible solution had occurred. Everyone still went about their daily life, but the entire human race was eager to find out how this had happened.
Edmund finally got the radio tuned in. Susan finished up the last of the breakfast and left. She heard the news story about the stars as she walked out.
"So far there is no explanation over the changed constellation. Scientists are still searching for an answer..."
