last night i just got the news about this amazing meteor shower we were supposed to be having! it was a clear night so i figured i’d take my chances out on the dark bridge near my house. about 11 o’clock i put on my scarf and gloves and went on the lookout. we were promised like 100 meteors per hour so i was expecting a show… but of course, nothing. twenty minutes of nothing, and i’m freezing my butt off; i think “screw this”! but just as i’m about to leave, a great big meteor ZIPS across the sky right over my head!
it was freaking AWESOME like someone cutting a slash through the night blanket so for a split second you see through to the daylight. stay for another? nah, that one meteor made it totally worth it, so i run home and go to bed HAPPY! :)
