An astronaut standing alone in a dimly lit space colony control room, staring at a small blinking console. Through a window, countless stars sparkling with one twinkling like a friendly wink.

Mira’s Star Whisper

2174-08

Captain Mira Voss went to Elysia, a silent place where no one was laughing or talking. The whole colony was quiet, like a big toy that stopped working.

She found a small box blinking with little lights. The blinking message said, “Trust the stars.” It made Mira think the stars were like friends playing a secret game. Maybe the stars were whispering clues to her.

Mira pushed a button and the box beeped a funny sound that made her giggle because it sounded like a robot hiccup. The colony was still quiet, like it was napping, but Mira wasn’t sleepy. She wanted to listen more and wait for the stars’ next secret to come.

She smiled and said, “Okay, stars, I trust you. Please play the game with me.” Mira felt happy waiting for the stars to blink again and tell her their secret story.
