Starfall

Day 22: Starfall
I snapped upwards, getting up swiftly from my sleep. Unlike the intense heat I felt in my dream, all I could feel was the frigid air around me. Confused, I got up and followed the path before me.

It wasn't too long until I saw the night sky, distant stars sprinkling the night sky, the tails of other galaxies waving behind them.
I turned around to face the mountain I ran towards. What just happened? What were the lessons being taught to me?

Unable to contemplate this further, I delved back out into the exterior of the mountain, trying to get away from whatever this metaphorical and literal Everest was trying to do to me. I needed to clear my head from the overload that I was given.

I walked a good distance away from the mountain, sat on the cold permafrost, and gazed at the night sky, watching the stars move across it. Unlike the previous nights, the moon was noticeably absent, as if it took a backseat to let the astral curtain be displayed in full tonight.

I couldn't take my eyes off of this display. The circular movement of the stars hypnotized me, as I lay completely down against the ground. Everything started to spin even more, with each star going in different directions. It made me dizzy and disoriented, causing me to feel like I'm spinning with the sky.

My sight goes fuzzy as the stellar dance speeds up, and soon it grows dark.
