Tinkerbelle's Side
Tinkerbell hovered impatiently above two dwarf's, that's right, two of Snow White's dweebs who wondered into her fairy world. "What do you want, you gotta be Dopey and Dumbo!" The dwarf's stuttered in awe of her legs dangling above them trying to avert their eyes away from her mossy green threads. " Hey, sorry Tinkerbell, we are, um, uh, duh, looking for Snow White; she's been dropped some date rape molly in an apple and time is of the essence!"

A Thunderstorm and a Solar eclipse
What if where you are living there is a thunderstorm occurring and at the same time a few miles away a solar eclipse is happening for only a few short hours. One day/night a small boy sat on a swing listening to something on his radio. Something told him to take his earphones off and look around. He did. This little boy noticed that for some reason it was getting slightly darker even at this early hour in the afternoon on this day. The spring peepers were peeping, the bats were flying about, and lightening bugs were lighting up the yard. The boy thought that it was kind of eerie, but at the same time interesting and comforting. All the stories that he had heard of cataclysmic things happening during an eclipse did not happen, but who knows maybe somewhere something did happen, but in this backyard nothing happened but night came a few hours early and now the sun is back and the birds are singing. There is really nothing to be afraid of during a solar eclipse this little boy learned.

Beyond the Eclipse:
In the heart of a small town nestled amidst lush greenery and winding rivers, there resided a young boy named Kai. From his earliest days, Kai's gaze was drawn inexorably upward, his eyes alight with a curiosity that seemed to transcend the confines of his small village. While his peers frolicked in the streets below, Kai found solace and wonder in the vast expanse of the sky above.
