Starry Sky


A full moon stood proudly in the sky, illuminating the earth below. The orb reflecting light on the area was doing so strongly on that particular day. The dew that lingered on the grass was illuminated as well.

It was a sight I was quite familiar with, as it was something I probably had seen hundreds of times. From my position on the ground, however, there was a sight more spectacular than any in the world. Or, well, it was the most spectacular sight I could see, as there was no way for me to move about freely.

If my masters were to see my broken body, they surely would deem me "irreparable", "useless" and "unsightly". I would be dismantled and the body parts that were still valuable would be re-used. However, as they no longer roamed this earth to my knowledge, I was left in this sorry state. My right arm and both of my lower legs were gone. My left underarm was also left somewhere in this wide world. My left eye had malfunctioned and could only open partly. My right eye was gone entirely, which was probably the reason as to why I had no recollection of losing any of my limbs. All I know is that they're gone, and they weren't anywhere near.

Hearing the rustling of the leaves in the wind, I looked at the trees and bushes. The gentle breeze send a melodic tune through the greenery, the grass rustling with it. The stars shone nearly as brightly as the moon did, doing their part in illuminating the world around them.

As the fresh dew was gathered on the blade of grass, it created a similar sight as the one above. Looking at the sky above, there were the stars and the moon. Looking down below, there was a second starry sky, existing out of greenery. The light reflected off of the water droplets, creating the illusion of there being a second sky on the ground.

Sights like these were surely what mankind would have fought for to protect.

Yet, there were no humans to protect or destroy anything anymore. There was nobody left to fix me. As such, all I could do was admire the same starry sky I've been admiring for years.
