A little preview
Each night a soft, round cloud parked itself above Alex's house, and it hummed a gentle tune that drifted through the chimney and curtains. Alex learned to fall asleep to that distant song, Button the stuffed rabbit tucked under an arm. One evening the hush in the room felt different; the cloud's hum had faded into the hush. Alex pressed a palm against the window glass and whispered, 'Hello? Are you okay up there?' Button's button eyes blinked like bright moons.
