“Mom had kissed him good night, but he couldn’t sleep. He crawled out of his window, climbed down the house tree, walked over to an open patch of the yard and stared up at the sky, Wow at his side. In the dream, he looked at the sky for so long that he got a crick in the nape of his neck, a sharp ache that seemed to drill right in. Frek tried to look down at Wow to ease the pain, but when he did that, his dream switched back to when he’d first walked over to the clearing and looked up at the sky.... It was one of those loop dreams where you do the same sequence over and over. He’d look at the sky, get a neck ache, look down, and there’d be a little glitch and he’d be back to staring at the sky—really focusing on it, trying to see each and every star.
