There was finally a clear, cloudless night, with all the beautiful stars twinkling away up there. I stood outside, looking at them, and all of a sudden I felt VERY small.
It was like a flashback to my college days, when I was taking Astronomy, and a class of us were up on a mountain with huge telescopes looking FAR, far deep into other universes. The sudden, overwhelming "I'm insigificant!" sensation was exactly like that night. All those years ago, I shuddered and pretended I was just cold.
But this time, I was all alone. In my back yard. I double-checked the chicken coop latches and scurried back inside the house. Dang, I was freaked out.
