Stars In The Sky Book Novels & Stories

They were not alone — Stellan was nearby, and Milo, and Delia had reappeared with two cups of something warm that she distributed without asking and disappeared again with the practiced efficiency of a woman who understood when people needed her and when they needed the space she'd left. She looked at the ridge above. The stars were fully out now — the June stars, which were different from the winter ones, higher and more numerous, the Milky Way a suggestion across the southern sky. "Tell me something I don't know about you," she said. He looked at her. "What?"

With great difficulty, Zach reached out and wanted to touch my head, but he only touched air. Feeling dejected, he lowered his arm and looked at my rotten head. “I’m sorry, Starling.” [Please live. You can still turn back.] “It’s too late, silly.” Zach hugged my head and sat beside the pool of sulphuric acid. He threw the kidney he removed from Catherine into the sulphuric acid. Then, he turned and gave my head a gentle kiss. “I can’t turn back anymore. I only have one star in my life, but I lost her.

It was a red bandana tied to a low hanging branch. I veered off in that direction where the branches got thicker and before reaching the clearing the smell of death reached me. It was a viscus smell in the way it seemed to cling to my body as if pulling me deeper into its depths. As we came to the clearing the scene before us was shocking. There were six dead wolves lying haphazardly on the snow covered grass. From the looks of it they were killed brutally. There was blood splattered everywhere. The rotting corpses smelled much like Mitch and Cal. I was sure this was their pack mates dead before me. If Cal and Mitch had made it here they would likely be lying here dead as well.

The night air is filled with a sense of contentment, a perfect end to a day of celebration and laughter. Apollo sits on a log near the fire, Jolene by his side, her hand resting lightly on his arm. The children run through the darkness, their silhouettes illuminated by the bonfire's glow. Above them, the night sky reveals the vastness of the cosmos, with constellations forming intricate patterns. It’s a breathtaking sight, a reminder of the immense beauty of their celestial home.

Ulan was talking about a popular book that stated different theories about the stars. Since the beginning of time, the people of Kabinihan had used the stars as guides to track time and related some incidents that had happened throughout their history with the stars that they believed were present when it happened. Because of this, some stars were given names by those who discovered them and the informations were written down until it was published into a book. Many still doubted the truthfulness of the given facts but to those who wanted to venture the wonders of the world, it served as an opening for them into finding a new existence besides Kabinihan.

The forest exhales. We reach a small clearing just as the clouds begin to tear apart overhead. Camille moves off to secure the perimeter, efficient and silent. I remain where I am, drawn upward by something I can’t quite name. The sky opens. Stars spill across it like silver ink, bright and endless, etched against the darkness as if written there by some ancient hand. Constellations I learned as a child stare back at me, unchanged by time or war or bloodshed. I feel very small.

Sure". I laughed and watched with amusement as she quickly laid on the bed. I laid beside her and ran my fingers on her face, as I slowly sang the song she'd requested for. When you cry, be sure to dry your eyes, Cause better days are sure to come. And when you smile, be sure to smile wide, And don't let them know that they have won. And when you walk, walk with pride, And don't show the hurt inside, Because the pain will soon be gone. And when you dream, dream big, As big as the ocean, blue. Cause when you dream it might come true. For when you dream, dream big. “Aunt Shelly.“ Her sleepy voice called. “Am I allowed to dream big too?“

The stars above shimmered like diamonds in the inky darkness, each one a beacon of light in the celestial. Nina’s eyes widened with amazement as she gazed upward. The sheer number of stars left her in awe. It was as though the sky had laid out its jewels just for them. Countless stars and constellations filled the sky, and they seemed to stretch to infinity. Standing beside her, Jayden was infected by her smile. He was glad that he could create a memorable evening for her. As they gazed at the stars, Jayden stood behind Nina and wrapped his arm around her, pulling her closer. He signaled to the crew, who nodded at him before leaving the couple alone.

I blinked as my eyes adjusted to the deeper dark, the dashboard lights fading to black. The city was a distant glow now, barely visible beyond the rolling hills—tiny clusters of light like embers far away on the horizon, flickering faintly as if waving goodbye. Above us, the sky stretched wide and unapologetic, scattered with stars I’d forgotten existed in such abundance. Not the faint pinpricks you strained to see between skyscrapers, but real stars—thousands of them, sharp and bright and endless, clustered in constellations that seemed to pulse with ancient stories. The Milky Way smeared across the velvet black like spilled diamonds, a river of light that made me feel small in the best way

I felt a flutter of nerves in my stomach as I took a seat next to him on the blanket. We lay side by side, gazing up at the night sky in comfortable silence for a while. The stars above us were a dazzling display, unobstructed by the city lights, and I couldn’t help but be captivated by their beauty. I pointed to the sky, tracing the outline of constellations with my finger. “Look, Logan,” I said, my voice filled with wonder, “there’s Orion, and there’s Ursa Major. Oh, and over there, there’s Cassiopeia!”
