EPHEMERAL

Ever since Nova was a child, she admired the constellation in the night sky. When she was just a little girl, she'd point up the sky saying, "Mom! look at the sky, it has a smiley face." She'd giggle with a twinkle in her eye. And her mother would just nod, unaware of the truth in her daughter's words. As Nova grows up with the sight of the smiling star, her mother grows weary, sends her to a psychiatric clinic, and reveals the dark side of the stars after she witnesses her reality becoming a fantasy as her fantasies become her reality.
