Mia was star gazing

I loved the stars, I always have From the first moment she saw them when I was young, I loved them.

They were always a constant in my life, even if the world changed around me, I could always count that the stars would be there for me.

And as Mia laid on the flat rock in the forest near her house and stared at the sky, a star twinkled in her eye,

and disappeared.

I blinked but the star did not return, I propped myself up and stared at the spot the star had been but it did not shine, I knew that stars burned out, but never thought I would see it happen in my lifetime. And that star was a particular favorite of mine. one of the lone stars in the sky that was disconnected from all the major constellations. it always shined a beautiful blue that matched my hair, and I'm sad that it's gone, but I'm great-full I got to see it shine for the last time.

Mia felt a buzz in her pocket and pulled out her phone, it was a text from her mother

[Dinners ready, come inside before it gets cold]

I quickly gathered up my belongings and headed for the forest entrance.
