Shooting star

If you've ever seen a shooting star you'd know it's magical, wonderful and mesmerizing all at the same time. The first time I saw a shooting star, it was only for a second, before it disapeared into the night. But that one second, it was like seeing a dream. And when it disapeared, someone who was sleeping got that dream. The magical, wonderful, mesmerizing dream. Although I do like to stay up and look for shooting stars sometimes, I like to fall asleep as fast as I can because who knows, maybe one day a shooting star, will give me that dream too.

    I had the same experience, last night actually, and it was so amazing and fleeting! It WAS magical, you’re right. I wrote a poem about it too.

I love the idea that shooting stars give people dreams -- what a lovely image! I agree with Madison that it would be interesting to see you expand this. I feel like there could be a much larger story here!

I like this, although I think you could add some more details to enhance this piece even further and create a beautiful scene out of this moment with description. This is just a suggestion. Thanks for sharing!
