Carlos is good at being invisible. Hoodie up. Head down. One-word answers in therapy. Silence at parties. Silence at home. But silence doesn't stop the hunger. The kind that lives in his stomach. The kind that lives in his chest. He dreams of food that crumbles as he eats it. He dreams of belonging, of being the kind of person who stays. Mostly, he dreams of disappearing. Until the night he looks up. And sees it. A smile in the sky. Small. Quiet. Waiting. Some nights, the world feels impossible. Too heavy. Too loud. Too much. But some nights, the sky smiles. And for the first time, Carlos wonders, what if he's allowed to smile back? Some Nights the Sky Smiles is about hunger and hope, fear and friendship, and learning that sometimes healing starts with the smallest light in the dark.

Your mind can adapt to such bizarre circumstances. It is a tool capable of extraordinary things, and in turn, it is an inevitable vulnerability in every person's system that can easily be provoked. A mind that can easily be conquered, the truest victim of pain. Despite this, it will continue to provide. It will sustain and ease. Always. For Darryl, it had been a struggle, separating the cruelty of life from his temple, his haven, his sanity. The burdens kept piling on and on, it felt as if there's no one else to turn to. An oblivious teen, an oblivious mind. He is, without a doubt, as desperate for change as they come. Though the road towards wisdom seems treacherous, his heart and mind shall unite, and together they shall guide Darryl to a pleasurable, if not enlightening, path. And once they do, not only will Darryl feel the significant change in his nightly life, he won't even know whether or not it had already started. *A Wattys Shorts entry*
