Other than that, not a very eventful day. I'm considering what I should get with a Barnes & Noble gift card that I still have, but I've already got a book to read, and this thesis to do, so I'm not sure.
I think I'll add a very short story to this post.
Our Sister Luna
As it rose over the earth, the Moon gazed down upon her sister, filled with sorrow and regret.
They had once been alike – two planets orbiting the sun in near-unison. Luna, the elder sister, had been born closer to the sun, and thus was more mature and full of life than her younger sister. Her sister was growing, and knew she would one day catch up with Luna, so she had no regrets and held no spite towards her sister.
Neither of them could have predicted what happened, and neither one would ask for it again.
The sisters drew close when speedy Luna passed by her sister, and each time it pulled her closer and closer, helping her to grow. One time, however, Luna drew too close, and a chance collision caused the two sisters to change drastically. Much of Luna’s beautiful body was lost, absorbed by her younger but larger sister, while her sister felt the massive impact ripple through her, and forced her to start anew with her growth.
Luna, ever worrying for her sister, refused to depart despite her injury, and hovered around her sister to watch over her growth. To this day, she is watching over her.
And so, that is why the moon looks down upon her sister. She is sad, and full of regret, but has a bittersweet happiness, knowing that her sister has matured into a beautiful woman.
