Event 6

Tonight as i got home at 11pm i killed the lights to my car and in a systematic fashion engaged the handbrake and at the same time pulled out the keys, released the seatbelt and got out. Looking up there wasn't a cloud in the sky and the stars sat vast in a sea of black. Deciding to find one of the few constellations i know of, the southern cross, i scanned the black depths of heaven trying to find it. As my gaze flickered from star to star a bright flash appeared and trailed a streak of bright light for a few seconds before disappearing into oblivion. It took me a few seconds to realize that i just saw a shooting star and for some reason i felt excited and wondered how many others would of seen it? It was almost like a single viewing just for me. After i had gotten over the awe that it had bestowed upon me i found my southern cross and walked inside as the cold started biting at my arms and through my jeans. Thinking of it being such a cool event i sat down and pulled out my computer and decided to record it on my blog. And here i am now...
