The Destination Star

The dome star slowly became a symbol for the destination star. Ben understood why Eric didn't want to come up here. It was being so close to something he would never get to see. The second starroom token Ben had seen was in his senior year of high school, his graduation token. Just like Eric, he received it after the assembly. Captain Brooks stood at the front of the room and spoke without a microphone. He told them that the arrival is not going to happen in your lifetime. You are old enough to know this now.
