- A lighthouse casts starlight across the harbor.
- A young boy drinks some as he rows.
- The stars taste like fire, though they look like ice. They buzz like flies, and are soft to the touch. They smell like lavender.
- To the boy, they definitely sound fragrant.
- He hides the star as Mike from that nearby McDonald’s walks by.
- Tonight, Mike will find solace in a needle and a plastic baggie.
- Though the solace will come with the price of a singed soul.
- And burned McNuggets tomorrow.
- This burnt nugget will cause the end of the world on April Fool’s Day.
- “Like starving people, just laying there…. Starving…”
- The golden hand of destiny has forgotten its place.
- It chills the icy shards of sand littering the beach.
- It’s enough to make a rich man lie down and die.
- Chuck watches this from the Bed and Breakfast window.
- This gets the attention of a newlywed passing by.
- She will die tomorrow, and be forgotten. It is her greatest Fear.
- This will make the sad happy man finally understand chimichangas.
- “Il etait fatigue.”
- What you breathe may never fully leave.
- All of this is told to the boy by the sky.
- He hears none of it, for he is lost in the light of her eyes.
