Starry Night

She’d been running frantically through a never ending hallway. WHITE. Everything was white. So white, she felt sinful. Then, out of nowhere Sarah stumbled on a tree root and fell down the stairs tumbling like Jack, she looked behind but Jill was nowhere in sight.

A wine poked her awake. Sarah woke up in a maze. She tried getting up but it was too dark and she was too tired.

“Twinkle twinkle little star

How I wonder what you are

Up above the world so high”

Sarah could hear her favourite rhyme being recited in the soothing voice of her dead father. “Papa?” she called out, “are you there?”

“Like a diamond in the sky

Twinkle twinkle little star”

Papa’s voice made her look up at the sky, its beauty made her forget the bizarre state she was in. Sarah tried pointing at the sky trying to connect the Leo sign but her arm wouldn’t budge.

The stars connected themselves,

SARAH, HELLO.

MR. MOON WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A CUP OF TEA WITH YOU.

HE’LL SEE YOU WHENEVER YOU ARE READY,

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BLINK.
