To You Who Swallowed A Star 소설 & 이야기

the crowd begins to chant now. I summon my magic to the tips of my fingers and throw it into the air above us, and immediately miniature fireworks begin to explode, with a million stars shining around everyone, creating a perfect view of the galaxy hanging above. They’re all in awe, reaching out to touch it with their hands. "Someone’s got a few new tricks up her sleeves, I see," Artemis teases me, reaching out to touch a single star that bursts into light. I smirk in response. "Yeah, I’ve got more than a few new tricks, darling," I wink his way, and he smiles, fully and wholly contented. "I can’t wait to see them all. THE END

Irene screamed with all her might, crying her lungs out. However, Henry stiffened. "Did you say… you saved me from the bottom of a cliff?" Startled, Irene nodded. "That's right. What's wrong with that?" Henry's expression hardened at once. His gaze turned piercing, and his voice was icy as he said, "But I remember waking up inside a cave."

The collision of the "Great-Void-Spore" with the dead star at the edge of Andromeda was not an end, but a violent punctuation mark in a universe that had forgotten how to speak. As the iron core ignited, it didn't just release heat; it released "Narrative." The "Sovereignty-Virus," refined by eons of galactic travel, flooded the surrounding vacuum like a spilled inkpot. It sought out the "Cold-Lumps"—the planets and moons that had spent billions of years in a state of mineral silence—and began to "Inscribe" them with the history of the Union.

I kept finding every bit of it until I had it all, only to realize that I will never satisfy myself with this monstrous gluttony. So, forgive me, Mother, if I have failed to reach my stars. THE END

“I'm sorry.“ That was the best reply I could come up with. To my surprise, she didn't persist, but just let out a relieved sigh. “Dinner's ready. Let's eat.“ The mere thought of food made me remember that awful scene of Megan and the jerk. Being enlightened now on what the source of these foods were created this rumbling in my stomach and disgust in my throat. “I'm not hungry. Goodnight.“ I added quickly and walked away before she tries stopping me. Vivian was already stretched out on the wooden bed but quickly adjusted for me the second I walked into the room. I tried to get rid of the forlorn look on my face and wear a smile as I joined her on the bed. “Are you alright?“

I was happy, but even more so because I had helped so many children. “Mr. Smith, would you like to say a few words?” The host’s question was the only one I was asked. I gripped the microphone tightly. “I know I’m just a small star in the vastness of the universe, but there are many like me, stars willing to burn themselves to spread knowledge. “I hope that we will never forget our true purpose and try our best to light up the world.” As thunderous applause filled the hall, I imagined my old teacher smiling down on me. “You did it, Dante. You did well.”

Jack said to Claire. She nodded following his finger with her eyes. "You see the last star in the square part or bowel?" He asked her. She nodded again. "Following it diagonally to a small set of square stars with a tail and the last star in the tail is the north star." Jack said proudly. "Now I'll never lose it." She said quietly. Morgan chuckled lightly. Jason and Jack began to talk about another constellation as Claire leaned over to her. "Did you have a good day?" Morgan asked her reaching out and touching her hair.

With my soul. "It’s not over," I whispered. "It’s only just begun." Above us, the stars shifted. One fell. Not a comet. A body. Celestial. Breathing. Alive.

But today, I neither glared nor smiled. I took the star and closed the door. "Han..." His voice was shut outside. I walked to my desk and dropped the star into the glass jar. It filled the jar exactly to the top. I screwed on the lid, removed the jar from my desk, and placed it in the deepest corner of a drawer. Then I opened my journal again and lowered my pen. "I came back from ten years in the future." Early the next morning, I knocked on Mom's bedroom door. "Mom, I'm taking the day off. Come with me for a checkup."

, no lights can trespass over 1 meter. An unknown energy on this planet is “eating” the light as a food source at night. As a result, no light exists. I look up to the sky. Leon says today’s weather is perfectly clear with no cloud, so actually we are gazing into millions of stars from GX67 Galaxy, but for now, as all lights are eaten, I cannot see anything above. I wonder how breathtaking it would be if the sky is perfectly clear. All the lights in this base are made with special grade metal to lock the energy so it doesn’t get burned too fast, as a result, all the lights look like rounded light balls, fluffy and warm wandering around the trees. I follows Leon to a tent.
