Sometimes it’s hard to fall asleep. Do you get lonely up there moon? Don’t be lonely. I’m here, anytime you want to talk.

“She had been rescued from the broken spaceship and taken far away from the lonely life she had known by a loving family that she had always dreamed of finding.”
–Laika Astronaut Dog by Owen Davey
Author’s Note:
On November 3, 1957, Laika became the first animal to orbit Earth when she was launched into space in the Sputnik 2 rocket.
A few hours later, Laika‘s spacecraft malfunctioned. Though many think she perished, this story, with its happy ending for the brave little dog, is the one I choose to believe.
Cinderella At the Grave
“I’ve been good and I’ve been kind, Mother,
Doing only what I learned from you.
Why, then, am I left behind, Mother,
Is there something more that I should do?”“Are you certain what you wish is what you want?”
–Into The Woods, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine
