Sharon felt her body float within the sky she loved to watch with her grandmother. She didn't try to move just let her body be in the space provided. Then from the dark distance came a small glimmer. She looked to her right to see her grandmother looking to the night sky. She was concentrating hard on the light slowly growing in strength. They were both back on her grandmother's roof, as they had done so many times when she was young.
"Granny? What are you doing here?" Sharon asked.
"We're watching for you sign honey, just like every other night you spend the night." She replied.
"But ..." Sharon tried to say then she felt her eyes water, and she bit her lower lip to hold the tears back. "Granny you died a long time ago." She finally sputtered out.
"I know." Was her simple response? She then raised her hand up to the sky where the light was the size of a basketball above them both.
"You to your sign," her grandmother said. "Look deep into it's light and hold on tight. Your dreams are a reality elsewhere. Remember that always. Now take this."
She reached into her pocket and pulled out Sharon's necklace. She held it in front of Sharon's eyes where it covered the glowing light in the sky. The light pulsed and formed into a jewel around the previous pendant.
"There now, all finished." Her grandmother said and then put the necklace around Sharon's neck. Sharon looked to her grandmother puzzled. She opened her mouth to say something but her grandmother shushed with a finger on her mouth. She reached up with her hand and patted both her shoulders, saying "Wake up my dear star child."
A loud crack rang through Sharon's ears and her eyes snapped open. Everything was still fuzzy but she could see May dangling over her by some vine to large for life.
