Prologue
shards of shootings star were falling , mother said , they are falling fast.
the boy looked up to the great , black sky twinkling with great dots from small till big in blue and white , counting the stars till he forgets the numbers , staring at the moonless dark sky as great , big , blue dots appear. the dark empty sky where the moon was supposed to be was gone , and replaced with these shining dots of colour.
where were the shards of a shooting star that mother had told to him ,why wouldn't it be here in the sky right now , why wasn't it in this unbothered empty sky where the moon used to sit ,why was his mother so panicked when mother found out , carefully leading him out to the valley as they cautiously looked out for those falling shards.
and now there was none , none of the nonsense (or so he thought) that mother and the whole world worried about , and the when his mother left him until its safe , he ran up and down the valleys ,and oh so hoping to not get lost in those big valleys underneath him.
and then it struck to him.
a shard had pierced into his skin ,where his heart was , and he cried out from the sudden pain , gripping his collared shirt tightely as the shard began to expand. it expanded till he couldn't feel his legs and arms anymore . it hurts , and it hurts bad.
and then he collapsed.
he collapsed onto the dark , deep valleys of his own home.
