Starlight
They always promised that when people die, they become stars in the great night sky, able to watch over their loved ones from high above.
The sky should be more crowded now.
Lying on her back in the dry grass, she opens her eyes wide, refusing to blink, not wanting to lose sight of them, even for a moment. They twinkle brightly and she wishes with all her heart to pull them back down. Her hand stretches towards a small group of three stars that dance radiantly together.
Her family.
Maybe everything has switched, turned on its head. Now she is the lone star, watching everyone else live together from a great distance.
Being a star is colder than she expected.
She hopes that if she lies here long enough, she will turn to stone, forever staring at the ageless sky. Maybe then she wouldn't mind the silence so much.
