Stardust

"You are stardust. Every arc and bow in your body is made from the stars and gold and silver. You are special. But every star burns out eventually."
Nico is an aspiring writer, whose life is divided into two halves: Before and After. Sometimes he still lives in before, and sometimes Before and After blend together, like a watercolor painting left out in the rain. Other times, it seems as though After as consumed him as its prey, and he can’t even remember what he was like Before. Before being the time he spent believing he was unique, different. Extraordinary. Believing that he stood out from others, like a shiny marble in a glass of water. After being when He crash landed in Nico’s backyard. Him and Nico and the stars inside them.
