Starstuff Stories

"Was that a shooting star?" "Indeed it was, Peter." "Look, Mara! There's another one!" "Make a wish."

If you could put yourself in any other story other than your own, any other universe, what would you want to do, who would you want to be? How much of you now would be left? Valentine Peters, an ex-martial artist sophomore transfer of Briar University with a masters in sass, loves to make lists about being in any Alternate Universe that isn't the one he has been placed in. He believes the 'gods of the Universes' have chosen him as their comedic tragedy in this universe, sending him irony this way and that. He was diagnosed with a blood disorder that has become the biggest aspect of his life, and as much as he tries, he cannot find ways other than to imagine of other lives to continue with existing here. He plays ukulele, studies marine life as a major and hummingbirds as a hobby, and he doesn't see much else left for him out there. His new friends at his new university - Nyx and Leo - are prepared to try to get him, and themselves, to see, that the Paths can change, and that sometimes friends, family, and the world around you can create who you are, and that there is a place for you in the Universe you've been put in, that you're made of stars, and you do matter.

Just stuf

A word or two about life and getting older. Something of that nature. It's purely subjective and my mind can be an odd place, but I thought some of you could relate. Or make fun of it. Either way just ENJOY IT.
