Pet

Petunia Logan had a rather mediocre and uneventful life.

She had a mediocre childhood, had mediocre school years, and had a mediocre university experience. Her life had nothing eventful happen and it seemed it never would. She felt small and insignificant, just lost in a sea of mediocrity.

That was why she studied astronomy. The vast ocean of stars above her seemed to offer her something more. She wanted to learn all about it, to put names to the exotic and exciting points of light that hung over her head, playing a brilliant symphony in the sky above her. She felt like if she understood them enough that her life would have some meaning.

That all changed when a bright light in the sky, that Petunia knew had no name, fell to earth behind her childhood home. In that instant, Petunia was transported into a world that she had never expected to find and never knew existed.
