I sit in our attic, listening to my parents below.
“Can’t believe he’s 13 years old.”
“He needs to put away childish things.”
As I stare out the window at the moon, I think about their words.
I say good-bye to my toys.
Tomorrow, I join the Young Astronauts Program.

The Story Behind this Story
A young boy’s day dreams come true. For this story, the week’s prompt came from a song titled “Toys in the Attic.” When I searched Pixabay for an image to go with my story, I was blown away by what I found.
I wonder what worlds Tim will explore when he’s an adult! His “toys” will be more sophisticated than those he’ll leave behind in his parents’ attic.
