I sidled up towards the wider main body of the Moon, away from the tip of the crescent, and cautiously looked down. Twinkling streamers of red were making their way to the ground, fanning out as they headed for different spots, leaving a trail across the landscape below.Really far below.I hurled myself away from the edge and pressed my back against the more vertical portion of the crescent Moon, eyes shut tightly, and for some reason breathing quickly.After a moment, I could hear some faint voices,…-
