"What star?"
She stiffened, instantly embarrassed, and scooted back from him again. "Oh. Um. In a constellation, the brightest star is called the alpha.

As the helicopter fell, its dead rotors started to spin, and Ruvola used that energy to slow the aircraft down.

Emprison her soft hand, and let her rave,
And feed deep, deep upon her peerless eyes. ~ John Keats
