When Geraldine looked to the sky, she was amazed by what she saw. The tail from a comet cut across the sky like a knife through butter. It was the first time she had seen one in real life. Every comet she had seen up until now came from a book.

She almost didn't see it at first. The stars hung in the sky like a million eyes blinking and winking down at Geraldine. Geraldine wasn't even thinking about them or the campfire or the woods. Her mind was someplace else, and she had her mind on a lot of different things. She was thinking about how she was going to pay for college. She was thinking about graduation. She was thinking about everything but the sky. The last time that she was in the woods was when she was a little girl. It seemed so foreign to her. As her mind wandered, that's when the comet appeared. It was almost like it had read her thoughts. It passed over her head, and she traced its path with her finger like she was waving a magic wand.
