I saw a star. I believed it was falling. So i waited for it to reach the ground. i cant figure out where its going to fall so i just stared and waited. It was shining brightly I loved to gaze upon it.
I waited for hours...days...weeks... and months. It was getting closer and closer to me, getting brighter and brighter. I realized that i was falling so slowly. So slowly that it swallowed my patience. So I stopped gazing at it and did another thing. I walked around and looked for some interesting things along the way. I found one. It was a glowing stone, similar to a precious gem. it was beautiful but not worth keeping so i put it back to where is was. I walked around again, looked for other stuffs. Another one, i saw an orange empty wallet. It has some oriental designs and looked brand new. Someone must have left it. I took it. It was as good as new. It had no damage on it. Lucky me. I then put all my stuffs in it -my ATM card, money, ID any picture. I got a new wallet. Then i went on.
I never ceased to stop checking on that star. Staring at it in every while trying to check its closeness to the ground. “It will take long enough before it will reach the ground”, i told myself. “Id better walk around while waiting and wasting my time”. So continued walking and searched for thing to stay away from boredom. Wow. What’s that? I found another one. It was a cool guitar pick with a picture of an animated Japanese character. “This must be an expensive guitar pick.” I took it. Put it into my new wallet and went on. I was so excited to use that guitar pick. I wondered if it would make a nice guitar sound. I went on.
I looked to the star and check on it again. It didn't seem to get closer to the ground. It is still up there. Its been 4 months now and i am still waiting. I losing my patience now and I was thinking of quitting. I gaze at it one more time and noticed that its glow is getting dull. It was not as bright as it was before. I suddenly lost in interest on it and decide to just look for things around. i went around again and found nothing. I saw that stone gain, that stone that looked like a gem, that first item that I saw. I took it again. Put it on my left hand and examined it. It looked better than before. It looked dirty so i cleaned it. Whoa! Now it looked amazing. It just needed a little cleaning. That stone is glowing beautifully and i haven't noticed that before. it was glowing bright, as bright as the star I was waiting to fall to the ground. I looked up to see that star again. I searched for it. I can’t find it anymore. I searched for it again, ah! There it is. I thought it was gone but it was still there. Slowly falling but still not reaching the ground. I was not as bright as before. Its glow is getting duller. It does not look beautiful anymore. I lost interest with it and decided to quit waiting. I quitted and that was a final decision.
I take it back. HAHAAHAH I will not quit and i will not wait. I will just hope for that star to shine again.
