The Star Room

Ben went with his class to the Star Room, even though the token said he could choose any time. Captain Brooks had called it a reminder trip to remember what they were all working for. He traced a path to where the ship was pointing to the destination star. It seemed bigger to him but not as giant as the dome star that hung in the common plazadak. His father put his hand on Ben's back and hugged him close. Sometimes people need a reason to keep trying.
