Tuesday, May 5, 2009. The dark night rolls in after the sun sets. It starts out pitch black but then one by one. A million small stars pour out of buckets. Twinkling like fireflies out of the sun. Frightening things can happen in the dark. But the stars in the sky help guide the way. Couples will walk peacefully through the park. Gazing at the twinkling stars in mid-May. Night crawlers and tiny rodents saunter. Into the new night scene set before them. All of the town people and their brother.
