In response to "Return"

Oh, interesting comment! I hadn't looked at it like that but I see what you mean. To me, it seemed one of those prompts that tells the story for you and I was just attempting to subvert that by taking an unusual line. They addressed me as the father, so I thought about how I'd feel as the father and expressed that, at the same time avoiding having to continue a story in which the punchline has already been stolen by the prompt.

As regards mystery, that comes of having only one half of a conversation - we never hear what the daughter is saying and have to work that out for ourselves. ;)

I wish I'd not read the prompt, I really enjoyed the mystery you maintained here in your poem.

LOL, Blueyez, I can't deny the thought of WDC crossed my mind as I was writing this. But typos are sent to plague me. No matter how many times I edit, there's always at least one that slips through.

"(Thern) he brightened and said ..." typo?

Good story. I really like your characters.

After I finished reading, the thought crossed my mind that perhaps stars mean nothing at all in the end. Much like many things here in WDC land.
