Yeah I get that too...
Oh yay-you played! Ok so what is The Shadow Cage? And Tab has never seen a shooting star? I used to see them all the time as a kid.
At 3 in the morning, yeah the monster is awake. Now we hear-"hey hey anybody"
What's the Shadow Cage? I don't even really know. When I was at school we watched a TV programme called "Middle English" which gave us a bit of storytelling and drama. One of these was called "The Shadow Cage" and seemed to involve some sort of scary situation with the shadow of a climbing frame in a playground under the moonlight that trapped this child in it. Of course it might have been nothing like that, but that's what I remember about it, and having these nightmares of getting trapped in this otherworldly prison!
As for shooting stars, Tab got me this amazing little home planetarium for Christmas that projects an accurate representation of the night sky (milky way and everything!) on to the ceiling. You can set it to mimic diurnal rotation too, AND you can switch on a shooting star feature, which sends a little streak of light across the image every 30 seconds or so. So now Tab can see as many as she wants!
