There were things in the night that weren’t there in the day. The stars, for instance. He liked looking at them, and naming the ones that he knew with all the names that they’d had that he knew, and trying to think of what the names of the others might be. The sky was different, too- almost a very dark blue or purple, really, and he found it almost soothing, like the infrequent cricks of bats overhead (the main reason he’d planted the mango tree in the backyard, though the dropped fruits were a pain to clean up). The day washed that all out- it brought light to most things, but the mysteries were no longer there. It was something he was somewhat glad of, and yet…

“Let us bring a softer dawn,” he murmured, to no one in particular, and planted strawberries.
