The Alien and the Cursed Star
Nathaniel, the Alien:
Nathaniel was no ordinary resident of Luminaria. An alien with the ability to teleport, hear ringing sounds, and stop time for a minute, he had not chosen Earth as his home but was drawn to its chaotic beauty and human emotions. Nathaniel had a unique gift: he could feel the emotions of those around him, a gift that often left him overwhelmed in the crowded city.
One evening, as Nathaniel returned to his condo, he felt a surge of sadness and frustration coming from the building. It was intense, almost overwhelming, and he knew it was coming from a new resident. Deciding to investigate, he went outside and found the source of the noise—a door next to him. A new neighbor.
Sabrina, the Cursed Star:
Sabrina was a woman of many talents. In her twenties, she was a vibrant writer, fashionista, model, dancer, and singer. She was a very loud person. However, as the evening progressed, she inexplicably aged into her fifty—a curse placed upon her by someone who had felt slighted by her success and confidence. This curse had turned her life into a cycle of highs and lows,
where she lived two different lives every single day.
The curse had strained her relationships, especially with her family. Just that morning, her mother had texted her, calling her a "dumb person" for getting into trouble again. The harsh words had stung, adding to her emotional burden.
The Encounter:
On her first night in her new condo, Sabrina tried to drown her sorrows by singing. Her voice, beautiful yet filled with sadness, echoed through the halls. She sang song after song, hoping to find some solace in the music.
Nathaniel, sensitive to the emotional turmoil, decided to intervene. He teleported to her door and knocked. Sabrina, startled, opened the door to find a handsome young man with an otherworldly aura.
"You know, I can't sleep. Your voice is quite loud," his voice was cold. He saw a lady with shades on, holding a microphone, hair is messy despite having a hat covering her head.
Sabrina looked at him, surprised. Her day had been quite tough, and her only stress reliever was to sing tonight.
"Oh, am I not allowed to just relieve? My mom told me I am dumb, my management told me I suck in dancing" she replied, her eyes are red shown she cried before. "Even just for this singing, I suck. Oh, but thank you, I am having a tough day."
As they continue to collide in unexpected ways, a strange connection begins to form.
