Beach Narrative
I was laying on my bed on a cold morning listening to the country playlist I have on my ipod. I was singing along to my favorite song when the music shut off and my focus was directed to the ceiling because the top of my ceiling began to open revealing the night sky. I was confused on what was going on. My focus was no longer on what was happening, I was lost into the starry sky. The stars were shining bright and the moon was fuller than it had ever been.
