Total Eclipse of Our Hearts






HEADLINE:  TOTAL ECLIPSE OF OUR HEARTS




Celestial events are typically something exciting. However, with recent trials and tribulations, it was a sadly significant source of anxiety for the denizens of this city. With our recent sojourn to this strange, void world, we were faced with an eclipse the likes of which we have never encountered. Not only is it the first to have been witnessed in the recently populated sphere, but it also was a double eclipse of Luna, Keres, Earth, and our Sun. Time seemed locked in a bubble for us, leaving us with the enjoyment of the spectacle for several hours. 

What could come of this; a portal into the emptiness? A great chasm with armies invading?  So many sinister and exciting thoughts racing through our every mind.  But no nothing of the sort occurred. If anything, it was a night of celestial pranks.

In my family alone, the little ones saw fit to bury an elder of the family in vines, then climb about them. My husband was the most unusual Disney Princess, donning an entire petting zoo of fuzzy critters, and yours truly had an itch to end all itches. 

Everyone milled about, reporting heightened senses, loss of senses, gazing into the beyond, voices from other-where, extra body parts, flickering lights, and seeing into forever. The laws of the city were laid down by our ADA, but when all was said and done, there was little sinister of note. It was simply a strange, enjoyable evening for all.

Personal issues and crises, notwithstanding, the night passed like any others, and served, as the sun came up upon the next day, to give everyone a single, collective sigh of relief. 

So, what happened with all of you, my fair people? Write in and let us know! Your story may make the paper!
