Touched (Touched, #1)

by Elisa S. Amore

“The origins of the constellations are ancient, you know. Since the dawn of time, man has observed the sky and drawn imaginary lines connecting one luminous spot to the other. Each culture composed its figures using its own imagination. What to the Greeks was a bear was a wagon to the Romans, a hippopotamus to the Egyptians, and a dipper to the Chinese. Like it is here, can you imagine?” His explanation made me smile. “But I’ve always found it interesting how the Greeks, in particular, turned the sky into a stage on which heroes and gods performed, led by the imagination. In my mind, the stories make the sky a sort of giant picture book, and every night for thousands of years its characters have come to life before our eyes. All you need to do is look at them.”
