It all started with the big bang — the mighty "thwack"-ing noise that connected my body to the prickly embrace of the wood chips below. My descent from the jungle gym was far from graceful, solo mission "rescue Mr. Beanie Boo" undone by gravity's merciless pull.
Dazed and seeing stars, I lay on my back and listened to the noise of other kids orbiting the playground.
It was then, that suddenly, faster than a shooting star, she appeared — clutching my Beanie Boo in her arms like a cosmic offering.
It was then I knew my universe had expanded for good.
