Lena was still sitting at her desk at midnight.
She couldn't reach her dreams.
She'd been trying all night; though she was awake, she was tired.
She read somewhere,
If you went to the moon, your dreams came true.
She stood on her doorstep and saw a beautiful, big, yellow moon.
She ran fast.
She reached to the moon, almost touching it.
That night, the moon came to her in a dream.
It told her,
"If you reach far enough, you'll catch your dreams."
Lena's dream of dancing came true.
She danced on the stage, where the bright lights shone.

The Runner.
'SNAP!' I hear the sound of a branch snap under my feet as I run. A wolf howls in the distance but I continue running. Exhausted and out of breath, I pause to rest on the bracken ground below me. It's not the most comfortable terrain to sit on; I can feel sharp twigs and branches poking through my running pants and stabbing at the skin underneath them.

In the neon-drenched heart of Neo-Tokyo, rain pattered a relentless rhythm against the chrome skyscrapers. Inside the opulent Sky Blossom lounge, Ambassador Lin sipped her bio-tea, her eyes narrowed at the holographic newsfeed flickering across the panoramic window.
