The glimmer of a moon falls down through a hole in the clouds, mixing with the pouring rain to create silver droplets that fall through a skylight in a bookstore on the west side of town, pelting a small wooden table with shimmery flecks of liquid, that condense and form a spiral silver necklace with a small, ruby red stone in its perfect center. The beam of moonlight passes over it, and it sparkles, sending out a symbol to the stars. Then clouds covers the pale face once more, and the jewel is dark.
