Father to Son

By Russell Taylor

“Gloria saw the sky come to life the last time the comet was over. She was lying out here at the end of the pier looking up on a night just like this when the meteor passed overhead, shedding falling stars in its wake. As each star fell she said that it lit up people hidden in the constellations, people no astronomer had ever seen before. She said that when they were revealed they came to life.
He looked up and watched as the comet peeled back the stratosphere. The stars grew bright and then dim, bursting and popping like a rack of fused lights. When the fiery touch of the comet moved out of reach, it left silvery trails of light joining up the puncture marks it had stamped in the blistered sky. Something moved.”
