Stars. That's the only thing I remember. Little bright lights in the sky with a black background behind them. And no matter how far I extend my hand, they are always just out of reach. Even if I close my eyes, I can still see their brilliant light. Just me, them, and the dark backdrop of night. I like to imagine that they move across the sky because they are on a journey. Sometimes I imagine them as little warriors, trying to defeat the dark, empty, blackness of space with their light. Other times I think of them as explorers, trying to find the edge of space, and the glory that comes with it. I like the stars. They talk to me, and I try to talk to them too, but they can't hear me. I wonder if they will ever hear my voice? I doubt it. After all, I am only one of the many voices that comes from this rock hanging in the sky. I wonder why I can hear their voices when I can't hear anything from the world around me. It's a mystery. Just like my memories. I don't remember anything. Just stars. I know I was doing something, but I can't remember what it was. Yet, I remember everything the stars tell me. It makes me wonder; just who am I?
