"Ma… can you tell me a story?" As a kit, she had loved hearing tales of the universe. Tales of her family, and nature, and history. Her mother took good care of Firefly, but the time eventually came to leave the nest. Her wings, antennae and tail had grown, and Firefly was ready. When Firefly was still a teen her mother fell ill and Firefly couldn’t get back to her in time. Orphaned and alone, Firefly couldn’t sleep at night. Her friends notice that she’s constantly napping, and her neighbors keep hearing her shuffle in her den at night. Some humans have noticed a heavenly glow lighting up their farmsteads in Iowa, which is Firefly running amongst the crowds of her namesake, reveling in the spirit of the night.
