Foreword
I know I should be working on my other story--and I am--but this story begged to be written. It was actually inspired by my own bedroom. When I was little, my uncle glued glow-in-the-dark stars on my ceiling. Now, over ten years later, they're still on my ceiling. Some of them have fallen, but for the most part, they're up there--and they still glow.
Magical, huh?
