The Galaxy and Beyond

The stars aren't as far as they seem . . .

Synopsis:
Leslie Ackerman: Her life is already written in the stars. She finds herself most at peace when she's alone without much noise to distract her thoughts. She always knew she was different, starting with the fact that her parents didn't have a single feature in common with her, and ending with the fact that life spins without pause or a flinch.
Elliot Murphy: He's a black hole. He soaks in moments, letting them swirl in the back of his head. He's a mystery. He buries his dark thoughts the further the better away from even the closest people in his universe. He's unpredictable. He's always trying out different hobbies, starting with drawing and barely venturing into the piano. He finds himself the brightest with company, always listening to the traffic at the roof of buildings. The louder it is, the easier it becomes to find himself in a different world.
Elliot, he's a meteor if Leslie is a comet. Leslie, she's mediocre when Elliot's at his highest. They're fragile together, and the closer they get, the brighter they become. The stars may be set in stone for Leslie, but for Elliot, life couldn't be more unpredictable and dul.
The two spiral into an adventure filled with color, and as Leslie's Galaxy gets brighter, Elliot's soars.
But as their paths collid, brighter suddenly doesn't mean better, and higher isn't high enough.
