dreamland

by Laurie Halse Anderson

I got out and leaned against the car. There were a few clouds in the sky. Maybe they had been partying all night, too.

I like how it was all happening at once, the moon and stars pinking up the sunrise, the whole world spinning around like it was supposed to. (pg. 210)
