Challenge 136:
THE NORTH STAR

For people in Earth’s northern hemisphere, the North Star – officially named Polaris – can be used to navigate on any clear night. It’s not the brightest star in the sky, but if you know what you’re looking for, it’s one of the easiest to find, always hovering right over Earth’s north pole. It’s a quick way to figure out which way is north, and a good starting point for several constellations when you’re stargazing.

But the North Star is more than just a convenient compass point. It can be a symbol of hope and purpose, of finding your way even when everything else is dark. It’s a steady point in an ever-changing sky, a beacon that marks the way no matter your surroundings. For people looking up at it, the North Star can be a reassuring sign that you’re going the right way, or a reminder to adjust your course.

Write a story about the North Star.

BONUS GOAL: Constellations

If your submission features constellations in any form, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, May 16 at 9:00PM EST.
