Lightning bugs dance, wishing to be amongst the those sky diamonds. So many trees, I can barely see the whole sky, but those faithful stars peek between the branches, seeking me out. Orion, Draco and others winked at me from on high; glittering smiles seeming to mock this mortal's existence.

And I thought to myself, Yep. It's just me and the lightning bugs.
