A meteor hit the earth and 8 year old Cathy pinned her hopes on it oblivious of its crash and burn. She wished for a "happily ever after" just like the fairy tales she recently read. Time flew and she lost herself into the world of fantasy-the adventure and madness of the novels captivated her in a dreamland.
Cathy, now 12, wished if magic were real and fantasy wasn't just fantasy. She would still escape to her dreamland when reality didn't seem as nice as the stories that she read. In her dreamland she would slay the dragons and fight the demons. She felt brave and happy.
As Cathy blew the candles on her 17th birthday she wished for a prince. No, not a prince with horse but with true love and feeling of home. A prince who would understand her dreamland and all the beautiful madness it contained.
Time passed and reality dawned upon Cathy. People seemed strange to her. They didn't believe in magic but had faith in love which according to Cathy wasn't entirely two different things.
Being 22 was proving to be difficult for Cathy. "Slay the dragons and fight the demons" had a complete different meaning now. A personal inferno co-existed with her dreamland now. She never stopped believing in magic but now it had a new name: Hope.
Whenever she saw a shooting star she would only hope for a happily ever after.
