As I was looking at the stars, I noticed it. A figure flying high in the sky. It was more amazing then even the lushest bouquet of roses.That was when I heard my name.
"Shelly, are you okay?" It was my little brother, curled up in our blanket. That blanket was our family item. Every family had to have one. The loss or destruction of that item was punishable by execution, for the 'irresponsible person who lost it' of course. My world was cruel.
"Yeah, Zane, just fine." I said as I closed the shutters to the Children's Room.
The night air was chilly. I grabbed Zane and held him close, being careful not to hurt his upper arm. He'd recently gotten his ID tattoo. It was law, everyone had to have one on their fifth birthday.
