Day 74 - The Moon in Star's room

I'm rather hoping my sister isn't reading this blog as I'm about to reveal something that I'd like her not to know, at least not until after Christmas. Anyhoo the idea for this story came from a present I intend on buying my 4 year old nephew. It's called 'The Moon in my Room' and it's basically a light you can fix to the wall that's of the moon and shines through the various lunar phases. I liked the rhyme so much I couldn't get it out of my head 'moon in my room'. Don't ask where the explosion came in to it. I guess I just wanted to blow it up and see what would happen. As my research turned up some quite significant things can happen if we don't have the moon: disastrous things. No I haven't written the next 'Day after Tomorrow' or what's the other one that's due out, '2012' the next odyssey or something. No but there is an element of environmental awareness in the story that I hadn't anticipated appearing, which was kind of unexpected but which I think makes the story a more cosily heartwarming.

Enjoy
