Super Blue Moon

Rachell gently lifts me up and embraces me close as she starts down the staircase. The time is past midnight. Everyone else in the house is sleeping soundly. Most of the lights are off with the exception of the nightlights adorning the hallways and the kitchen incandescent overhead that forever shines for safety to descend the stairs.

“I wonder where we are headed this late at night,” Chester asks himself.

“We’re going to peer at the moon Chester,” Rachell shares as if reading his mind.

“The celestial body encircling the earth is the closest it will be for a long time giving off a blue tone as a result,” Rachell teaches.

Rachell steps out onto the front porch and totes Chester and camera to a spot with a clear view of the nighttime phenomenon. They sit silently together to take in the wonder of the sky. Rachell clicks many photos of the heavenly body for enjoyment in the days ahead.

“This won’t happen again until the year 2037, so take in the view dude,” Rachell imparts.

Chester is struck with awe as he gazes at the illuminated sky observing, “What a giant orb, this super blue moon!”
