"Sky Sisters" is a fictional short story about the sun, the moon, and the North Star; however, there's a twist: they are all sisters. Our view of these beings are very black-and-white in that half of us believe that it is science that makes the sun and the moon cycle across the sky everyday, while the other half believes that it is magic and the work of the gods. Instead of focusing on one of these halves, I decided to create an entirely different theory and gave these celestial beings names and sentience, allowing them to make their own backstory. While making my story, I wanted to keep most of the details realistic and somewhat factual, so I did some research beforehand about supernovas and the ages of the sun, the moon, and the North Star. To put it simply, this story is essentially the tragic backstory that answers the question of why the sun and the moon travel across the sky everyday. I had so much fun creating it, so I hope you enjoy reading it too!

To me, creativity is the ability to use my imagination without restraint. I am able to write with absolute freedom and individuality because there are no guidelines to creativity. Creativity is unique to each individual and allows people to express themselves, which can lead to relaxation, self-discovery, and more.
