Glass

She found a sky in a piece of glass washed up on the shore where the river met the ocean. She held it to her lips and breathed on it with a kiss and made a wish, just like her father taught her.
Without looking she tossed it over her shoulder and it exploded, the fragments becoming an endless expanse of stars. All across her new sky, beings awoke to their first day.
She hoped her wish would come true.
She set off down the beach to look for more pieces of glass.
