"Someday I'll look on this moment and plow into a parked car" - Evan Davis
August 3, 2004
The stars were exceptionally bright this particular night. They filled the sky with their cold brilliance, the Milky Way clearly outlined against the pure darkness of the country evening.
After dinner hed had a sudden urge to get closer to them -- an urge he hadn't felt for a long time. So he came out to Stonewall, about four towns outside Blue Bay Harbor, and stared into the blackness. His father would kill him if he ever found out that's what Cam was using the teleporter for.
A slight breeze blew, bringing comforting smells of the water and forest to him and blew his hair in a sight of dark brown against the even darker night.
Cam had always liked the stars. In his earliest memories, he could remember staying up late to go outside and gaze out at the velvety dark. He even tried several times to count all the stars that he could see. Like a game of counting sheep, it would lull him to sleep.
He would still would go outside and spend hours looking out the telescope. His full attention taken up by the silky night, each star winking with its own special light seemed to call to him. There was something comforting about it – something he couldn't name. Sometimes it would ease his troubles and other times it would cause an ache of loss so great that she would avoid going back out for days.
It was because of those thoughts that he didn't notice the car flying toward him. Then the world went black.
