Luna
"Luna"
Leonardo Cerutti
I have flown free
in the galaxy. I have seen multiple stars, inside a bright silver starship.
Well, you probably do not believe me right now, I really understand - but the
story I will tell you is as real as the Earth is old.
Every night I go
to bed very early. My room is a very beautiful place. My door is white, the
walls are painted with dark purple and I have three starship toys suspended in
my roof. But the best thing in my room is the galaxy wallpaper glued in the
roof. Every time, no lie, every time I lay down in my bed, I light up my moon light
fixture and I start watching the stars in my roof. Sometimes it seems like they
are really shining and the starships are moving. I have talked to my parents
about that but they presume it’s not real and I’m just dreaming, but something
deep inside myself says that I’m flying in a real galaxy.
Yesterday was
the best day of my life. As usual, I laid in my bed very early and I started
watching my roof. Slowly, the stars started to twinkle and my starship toys
floated all over my room, I felt so happy! In a few minutes, I felt like
crossing a new universe. I don’t know how to explain in words what I felt, but
it was a massive following of good feelings: my breath was calmer, my heartbeats
were so relaxing and my brain just couldn’t believe what my eyes were seeing:
At the beginning,
I felt a little bit clumsy because, honestly, I’ve never flown in a galaxy
before, so, in awkward movements, step by step, I took a big impulse and flew
away in direction of the big blue hole. It was a very long journey, at first
sight I thought it would be faster to get to Luna because of its huge size, but
no… I took at least 1 hour to get there. It was a very fascinating journey; I
saw a lot of stars with different colors: pink, blue, orange, white, but even
these beautiful views were marvelous for me; I was more interested in Luna and
the big starship that was waiting for me. When I was coming closer, the
temperature started to get warmer and I felt a happy sensation, like when you
are under cold water and suddenly get off and take a nice sunbath, in a
beautiful spring afternoon.
When I was
getting closer, I got really excited and nervous, because I also have never
driven a starship, but, in my mind it must be like playing videogames, piece of
cake! When I finally got into Luna, I got blind for a few seconds, and after
that, I saw only silhouettes: a bright blue ball flying in the sky: “Ooooh! Are you my Luna?” It enchanted
me so much that when I recovered my vision, I kept looking for it for several
minutes.
Near Luna, there
were three starships… Oh my God, probably you won’t believe me yet, but it was
very realistic for me: they weren’t like the starships we see in the movies,
they weren’t circular like the flying saucers that people are used to. They
were really big, painted with bright silver and they weren’t circular. They
have got a lot of little windows, and in their front, there was a big window, I
think it’s for the starship driver to see outside.
My following
thought was “I have to enter that”,
so I got closer to one of the starships and I searched for the opening door. When
I found it, I finally got inside the starship and entered into a dark hall.
There was a white door forward. I walked straight to the door, my heart started
to beat faster because I thought that maybe an alien should be there waiting
for me with a light gun.
When I finally
opened the door, it was just my room, exactly the way it has always been;
except for the windows: through them, I could see the beautiful galaxy with all
the colorful stars; and in the middle, my dear Luna was smiling to me. Now I
want to go there every day, so I can feel its warm hug again and again.
Do
you believe me now?
