A Shooting Star in Summer
It was a clear, warm summer night when Mia lay on her back in the tall grass and looked at the starry sky above her. The darkness was filled with an endless sparkle, and the coolness of the night made her forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. She had reserved a very special moment for herself, far away from school, social media and the constant hustle and bustle at home. Just as she began to immerse herself in the beauty of the cosmos, a bright light suddenly flashed across the sky - a shooting star!
Mia sat up and her eyes widened in amazement. The glittering tail disappeared as quickly as it had appeared and in that fleeting moment she felt a sense of magic. She had always heard about those special moments when you can make a wish come true. Unsure of what to wish for, she thought of all the things that were dear to her heart. Moments with friends, better grades at school, a trip to the seaside - the list seemed endless. But then she remembered what really mattered: the love and support of her family.
Taking a deep breath, Mia closed her eyes and wished that her family would always be happy and together, no matter what the future held. The idea that they could be there for each other in difficult times filled her with warmth. When she opened her eyes again, the sky sparkled unchanged above her, and for a moment she felt as if the stars knew her secret.
Over the next week, small miracles happened: an unexpected trip with her family, laughing together about old stories, and the support of her parents in her challenges at school. Every time she looked up to the sky, she remembered her wish and the feeling of security and affection that accompanied it.
She realized that the wish was not just a fleeting thought, but a nudge to appreciate the little things in life. The wish on the shooting star had not changed the world, but it had opened her heart to the values that meant the most to her. And so the memory of that night remained unforgettable, a small, magical story that she shared with herself and the universe.
The weeks passed and Mia found herself more and more often in the meadow where she had spent that magical night. The sky had become her trusted friend and she prepared herself to observe it at different times of the year. In autumn, when the leaves glowed in vibrant red and gold, she now had a new desire - she wanted to show the people around her the beauty of these nights too.
In her small glimpse of the world, she wanted to help others make their own wishes and discover the magic of the night sky. She began organizing a small group with her friends, which she called "Star Wish Night." One Friday night, they gathered on the lawn, surrounded by blankets, snacks, and a sense of excitement. The initial conversations revolved around everyday things, but soon Mia felt the mood changing - everyone was hungry for the wonders of the sky. "The Shooting Star - A Short Story" read more
