THE MORNING STAR
The endless night slowly gives way to what Jack knows will be another endless day; the stars gradually fading until only one remains shining brightly in the dawn sky. It’s time to move on and Jack forces stiff, cold limbs to move, all too aware that another day will only bring more ceaseless running and hiding. He wishes he could let her sleep, but time-and their lives-are too precious; so he touches her gently, watching closely as her eyes open and in those first unguarded moments of waking her eyes shine as brightly as the last morning star.
