Back then, the sky was big and dark. The sky was full of stars singing and dancing. It was peaceful.
Nova watched the stars. They felt close enough to touch.
But now the sky was empty and grey. There were no stars.
It was too loud and too busy.
The streetlights watched like wardens.
The buildings loomed like guards.
Maybe the stars were somewhere else, playing hide and seek?
They could be in here...
ARGH!
...in here?
There were lights that twinkled in the city. They were pretty. But they weren’t the same.
Nova wanted a sky full of stars.
So she took a trip away from the city.
Once again, the sky was big and dark.
The stars were still here twinkling, and Nova realised...
...that they would always be there, waiting for her.
