To You Who Swallowed A Star Novels & Stories

Then I spread my arms and legs and turned in circles, allowing the moonlight to hit every inch of my skin. My stomach grumbled with murder, rejecting every bit of what I had swallowed.

I dance with the moonlight under the stars, they sing me a lullaby cause you never did. You whispered me words of poetry, coloured me in pain, and made promises you never kept. You drew me in and then threw me out, but you keep looking back. I ask you what you want, but you can never say. So, I ask you to tell me a story and you sing me a Lullaby-y-y, one where fairytales of true love make me want to dream."

We burst out laughing, "oh that must have been a sight." Aaron said. "Yup," I answered back popping the p, "two elders had to carefully unwrap me, it was uncomfortable and a bit painful." I started swinging really high attempting to reach the sky, anytime I think I'm almost there, I'll find myself down again. "I'm going to pluck a star down and give it to you." "Really why?"

"I am an orphan, our orphanage first feed us and when we are adults they send us to you." She looked at him.

And then you two can go pack your stuff.” Vanessa sat back down, waiting for the other girl to be announced. “The next one is Maia!

A ripple of energy surged through the corridor, and the door started to dissolve, revealing an expansive, starlit realm beyond.

Swish… Long Chen, who had been inside the Star Tower, found himself in a place resembling outer space. Every world and planet there was no bigger than the palm of his hand.
