The sky was huge. I mean, who doesn't grow up hearing tales about the endless sky, but to actually see it for yourself? I feel so small, worthless. The multicolored dots on the backdrop of the velvet was even more than I ever dreamed. This had to be what was described to us at night, but where was that bit thing they called the Moon?
I'll admit, a large part of me wanted to run back into the hole I came out of. We had been living underground for so long, I looked around to see if there was anybody else who had my reaction. A few people did try to walk back in, but were stopped by others. We left for a reason, there was no going back, not unless we had to.
"Twinkle twinkle little star" a small voice next to me sang while pointing to the dots.
"How I wonder what you are" Wasn't that the truest line in the song.
"Up above the sky so high" Some else continued.
"Like a diamond in the sky" they did kind of sparkle the same way that light off a precious gem does.
"Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are" All of us joined in for the last bit and the little girl next to me gave my leg a hug while I petted her hair.
"Are you ready?" I smiled at her, "Do you know what your job is?" All of us had been assigned jobs.
"I'm a massager, I pass notes between people."
"Wow, that is a big job." For a little kid. "How old are you?"
"I'm 5! Momma says I'm fast and smart and will be able to get almost anywhere cause I'm also her little monkey."
"Cool. I'm a night time guard, so I make sure people are safe at night."
"Ready for an ad-vend-tur?" She smiled.
"Yup" She took my offered hand as we followed the crowd of people. Someone had a map to follow, that wasn't my job, so i wasn't worried about it.
