Narrative:
As she stares at the night sky dreaming of becoming a star, the sky falls upon her and her journey begins...
The stardust gathers around her to prepare for the birth of a star
She radiates and celebrates her stardom while everything revolves just around her... but soon, she exhausts her energy to radiate...
The world around her that once celebrated her begins to swallow and feed upon her stardom...
She struggles to escape until she realizes that even the ‘Star’ is not eternal...
She merges into the dark eternal universe, while many others like her watch the night sky ... dreaming of living the life of a ‘Star’
