There was a dream once. The dream had been filled with stars, an entire galaxy filled with planets all around, all condensed, all focused on one part of said galaxy…
That part of the galaxy, involved the 8 planets circling around what we call, the sun.
In the dream, however. The entire galaxy was still, seemingly lifeless, as if something higher than them had demanded their eternal obeisance, all of their focus...all of their everything.
Slowly, ever so slowly, the stars, the planets, the comets...everything. Everything was being drained of its color.
Perhaps, the one who dreamt of this had seen the future. The future of an empty, and still galaxy.

Souls...the natural ones--the ones that a person had kept since birth--were so delicate...ever so delicate. One flick of deep depression would make it shatter, swept up and lost to the wind. Because of this, many people lost their souls around the ages of 14 to 16. The little girl, however...had lost hers when she was merely 3 years old. An uncommon, but not unheard of commodity.
Now...at the start of one’s soul being lost, one wouldn’t know of it. However, as time would go on, with months passing, that person would begin to realize that..they didn’t laugh as much as they used to, nor did they feel any need to. They would begin to realize that they didn’t feel like laughing, crying, frowning, smiling, or even chuckle here and there. Slowly, they’d begin to merely work away at what they were doing, their expressions, emotions, and even their memories, simply lost, reducing the person to an empty shell that rotted away and

Please...fix it, if you can.” “Well, I’ll be darned.” Said the Graysmith as he took the soul. After inspecting it a bit more carefully, he sighed, nodding. “I’ll see what I can do. Come back whenever if you’d wish to check up on it.” With a breath of relief, the young man would pay the Graysmith and leave, saying thanks.
Over the course of the next few days, Edmund returned, wishing to check up on the repairing of his soul. “Well, so far, everything’s going alright, however…” Edmund would say “However?” with a hint of fear in his voice. “It’s missing a few key components. I’m afraid that without them, I simply can’t repair it. I’m...I’m sorry.”
With a heavy heart, the young man, Edmund, smiled grimly. “Well. You tried. And for that, the very least I can do is give you this cake. My wife made it in order to thank you.” “Cake? R..really? No one’s ever given me cake before.” Edmund chuckled. “Well, enjoy it friend, I’ll..be off, I guess. If there’s one thing I want to do before I...I turn into a shell of what I am now, before I lose the emotions needed to love my wife and little boy...it’ll be to spend as much time with them as
“Emptiness stretching for miles, the sense of space, the vastness of the sky above, passing no farm or cottage, no kind of dwelling house at all in three miles. All was emptiness.”

The thirst for something stable is evident as the children show their awe of the physical world. As an adult explains the stars to Mazie, Olsen writes: "As his words misted into the night and disappeared, she scarcely listened‹only the aura over them of timelessness, of vastness, of eternal things that had
“Night. No one prayed, so that the night would pass quickly. The stars were only sparks of fire which devoured us. Should that fire die out one day, there would be nothing left in the sky but dead stars, dead eyes” ( Wiesel 18).
“There seemed to be nothing to see; no fences, no creeks or trees, no hills or fields. If there was a road, I could not make it out in the faint starlight. There was nothing but land…I had never before looked up at the sky when there was not a familiar mountain ridge against it. But this was the complete dome of heaven, all there was of it. I did not believe that my dead father and mother were watching me from up there; they would still be looking for me at the sheep-fold down by the creek…. I had left even their spirits behind me. The wagon jolted on, carrying me I knew not whither. I don't think I was homesick. If we never arrived anywhere, it did not matter. Between that earth and that sky I felt erased, blotted out. I did not say my prayers that night: here, I felt, what would be would be.” This new surrounding is the beginning of an adventure for
I landed hard on the asphalt, I probably bruised my ass, as if I didn’t have enough from Yaqui beating me up. I stood up. Where was I? Was I still asleep? I pinched myself, no I was definitely awake. I looked around, I was in a parking lot. There was nobody around, wait! There were some people I ran over hoping that they knew where the heck I was. I stopped short these were boys about my age maybe a bit older and they looked like they were in a fight. The fight seemed unfair because it was four against two, I wanted to help, but I didn’t know what I could do. I watched as one of the older boys pushed one of the two not as well dressed boy’s head into a fountain. He was drowning him! His buddies were laughing. “Ponyboy!” The other boy who I
Some nights the sky wept stars that quickly floated and disappeared into the darkness before our wishes could meet them. Under these stars and sky I used to hear stories, but now it seemed as if it was the sky that was telling us a story as its stars fell, violently colliding with each other. The moon hid behind clouds to avoid seeing what was happening” (Beah 80).
4. What is meant by the phase “looking out in the universe is looking back in time?”
I’ve always felt a strange connection to the stars, one that I have never fully understood. I used to believe that it was simply the night itself that appealed to me. There is something so incredibly compelling about it. It’s not the silence, necessarily, but the way that every breath is amplified; it’s not so much the darkness, but the way that the stars light it up. There is an unparalleled magic to them, to the way that they swirl and writhe and explode of their own accord. Although the moon will orbit for eternity and the stars will eventually fade into submission, it is the latter that I admire the most. I would rather die at the hands of my own power and light than live infinitely off of the nectar of somebody else’s.
"It wasn't your fault he was... killed that day. Well it's really late and I am tired... Please forgive yourself.... Please." Queen Isabelle said looking at her brother a lone tear gently falling down her cheek. King Henry whipped away her tear and kissed her forehead. "Goodnight and... I will try... I just wish he could come back for like a second... to say he isn't mad at me. To say that he forgives me or something." The king said sadly smiling at his sister. "He probably wishes it to... He is probably watching you right now and he is sad that you are sad and that you are suffering. He loves you and so dose the rest of us... Thank you for letting us stay over for the week" Queen Isabelle said with a smile. "Not a problem! Anything for you sis." King Henry said cheering up a bit as Queen Isabelle walked to the door. "Love you... See you in the morning." Queen Isabelle said walking out of the room
I had woken up extra early that morning to watch it all happen. To watch part of my life that had been ever so dominant disappear in a small gold 96’ Saturn. I watched it carefully, not thinking that these few moments would be our last, but that they would be the last that we were in some way equal.
In a record being sent away into space many years ago, there are the thoughts of a woman who was in love. While the doctors recorded her thoughts the following day of the conversation, Anna was thinking in Sagan and in what a wonderful life they would have together. If one day our civilization disappears, this disc will contain everything we ever were. Including what we feel when we are in

For these humans, that means and engagement in existence regarded to have disappeared without aware recognition, and no longer all of a unexpected. As a substitute, it appeared to filter slowly and that they simply awakened at some point and experienced a vacancy that wasn't previously there.
