Day 1 in this body. My coordination is off and I cannot stand on my own. this will take some getting used to. whatever I did to anger The King of my planet should not have warranted this kind of punishment. banished from the stars and imprisoned among the mortals. Stripped of my celestial birthright and placed on this planet. now I sit here silent and the guardians of the child I took over look on concerned for their child is gone. "She doesn't look right" they say "her eyes have gone dull and the color of her cheeks have become pale." She doesn't eat or speak anymore, doctor." "its a phase" 

it  was not a phase. the moon had her phases, but I was as fine as I could've been. My need to consume sustenance had all but left me and I've nothing to say to them. I just observed. 

Over time I realized I really was stuck here. I learned their language and I reluctantly played with their plastic toy objects they brought me. Though they were less than convinced I enjoyed their gifts. I did not. They whispered about me. I know they knew I was different. In spite of that they loved me unconditionally and they did their best. I grew very fond of them and over time I forgot I wasn't meant to be theirs.
