Out through the window, it shone through. Dimly. Cold and placid.
This sky. Deep, dark blue. Scattered with thousands of speckles. Not one was the same as another.
This sky. Sliced into two by a sparkling streak. Arcing away as it swept over the house. A crowded journey away from the black horizon.
It was vast. It was expansive. A bottomless basin populated with particulates. Each with their own unique sparkle, though most were overpowered by a few.
Right then, there was a twinkle. A glimmer in the sky where all pathways led. It twinkled brighter and brighter until it flickered rapidly, becoming animated.
Calem watched this spark drop from the sky, straying off the streak and entering the void below.
