The Rock

Once there was a rock. A great rock. It stood over the city of streetlights. But the citizens of the city could never see the rock, because the lights were bright, and it was always night.

And then, one day, after the long night, the sun rose. Still the citizens could see nothing. For the great rock covered the sky, stretching close to the horizons, blocking the sun's path. But the pale light, of this impossible moon, sang through their windows, and every child fell asleep.
