closed starter for aisha fedorov al-kattani @conclaive … !
when she looks at her sister, she sees a star – really, when she looks at all of her siblings, that is what she sees. stars, guiding lights. diya once heard that most of the stars visible on earth are already dead, so far away that their final blaze is still crossing the galaxy to light the night sky. she looks at aisha and sees that plainly: a star that’s already dead, still shining in her eyes.
“ aisha, ” she says, a bit too close to sounding mournful. how do you talk to someone who is already dead ? “ do you want to watch a movie ? i’m bored. ”
