A LITTLE STORY OF BELONGING

Luna Can't Sleep

Night at Luna's spot by the stream in the Whispering Woods. Luna crouched at the water's edge, one paw letting go of a single leaf. Downstream, the bend. Beyond the trees, the tall Clearing crystal glowing soft as a night light, and far off, the shore crystals glimmering along the beach.

Every night at Luna's spot ends the same way. The shore crystals glow. The tall crystal in the Clearing turns itself down to a night light. The sea says hush.

And Luna picks one leaf, sets it on the stream, and watches it go. All the way round the bend. Slow as anything.

Then bed.

That is the whole plan. It has never once gone wrong.

Until tonight.
