A little preview

On a soft hill under a wide sky, Alex watched a comet sail like a ribbon. It winked and painted the night in silver. As it passed, a small, warm pebble fell and plinked into the moonlit pond with a tiny bubble. The hill’s dinosaurs gathered and whispered—some wanted the glowing pebble, others worried it might make the comet sad. A gentle brontosaur named Brin sniffed at the water’s edge. The pebble pulsed below the ripples, quiet and secret.
