I stared up at the black of the sky and stared at the stars. They were so bright. Little pin pricks in black velvet with all the power of the suns shining through. It was amazing to think of what was going to come.
Then it started. The the first one. You may not have noticed if you weren't looking for it. But there is was.
Or...well...wasn't.
Then one by one they all started for follow.
The stars were going black.
They were going away.
They were dying.
There were soft whispers at first. So many lying there watching the sky flicker away. Breathy comments of awe, amazement, sadness, nostalgia...
But as the stars faded so did the whispers. Everyone was running out of things so say. Nothing left to speculate on. The lights were going out.
There was a chill on the air. I nestled closer in his arms. I nuzzled my head onto his shoulder. He held me just a little tighter. I ran my hand up his chest and placed it over his heart. He reached up and took my hand and pressed it to his chest.
One by one.
Shining ember by ember.
The silence was deafening.
I cold feel his heart slowing.
His breaths falling farther apart.
There were only a few left.
5...
3...
"I will always love you." His words were barely audible.
2...
1...
Nothing.
The sky was black. No lights left. No stars.
My hand ran along the blanket in the area where he had been. My head now lying in the damp grass instead of on his shoulder.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, bit my lip...I wiped the one tear from my cheek.
I stood and took a moment to look around the hillside. There were others there who were like me.
I gathered the blanket and walked away.
Leaving behind me the dead sky and all the others who had left their loves to the stars...
