The Boy Who Gathered Stars. AI-Generated.

The village of Arindale slept beneath a sky so wide and clear that the stars looked close enough to touch. Every night, the wind carried the smell of wild lavender across the hills, and the silence felt soft, like a blanket laid gently over the earth. On the edge of the village stood a crooked house with a roof shaped like a bent hat. Inside lived a twelve-year-old boy named Lio, who had a strange habit of wandering outside long after everyone else had gone to sleep.
