So I ended up just starting it on my own. Current word count, 341 (1 page in Word), needs to be 3000/10 or so. Enjoy: The night sky is darker than it used to be. That might sound odd, but it’s the best way I can think of to put this whole mess in perspective. When something big is going on, I like to think of it in small-scale terms. It helps me focus on things. And something really big is going on. It’s been going on for about four months now, and shows no sign of stopping. The stars are vanishing. As in, they’ve apparently ceased to exist. It started, as I said, about four months ago. A small page on an astronomy Internet forum noted, almost casually, that one of the stars in the Big Dipper, the one on the end of the handle named Alkaid, couldn’t be seen for some reason. The general consensus seemed to be that it wasn’t a big deal. Maybe there was just something blocking the view between Earth and Alkaid. About two weeks later, Cassiopeia vanished, all five stars of it. That raised some eyebrows. NASA and ESA both released statements that were, basically, “hell if we know.” Still, there wasn’t too much in the way of concern until the North Star of all things blinked out about a month ago. That got everyone in a tizzy. Predictably, conspiracy theorists loved it. I wonder if they would actually be happy about dying in an alien invasion or something. Would they grin and say, we told you so? I mean, as last words go, those are actually pretty decent, but still. I think I’d prefer living. Speaking of me, you’re probably wondering where I fit in all of this. So am I. My name is Simon. I’d rather not tell you my last name. I work at the Air and Space Museum in Washington. If you think that’s cool, I should probably mention I work the gift shop, which is significantly less cool. It is pretty funny to see them selling “updated” star charts though. What, did someone just get a black marker and cover up a few spots? Ideas for the rest: I'm secretly harboring an alien. He looks like my avatar (so a space-fish in a borrowed trenchcoat) He's not an invader, he's a refugee because his planet was near one of those stars and it vanished, so his home planet sent a bunch of "ambassadors" out to find a place they can live. Now I've got to figure out if the government would pull a District 9 on them. also I need two names for the alien- his "alien" name and the name I'd call him for lack of being able to pronounce said alien name.

I was watching a random game and I think my game broke

PEANUT BUTTER!

Oh shit.

Heterochromia is fucking obnoxious

I will not mind paying 50 bucks for Overwatch as long as that means I am actually done with purchasing after that
