Once Upon a Star

Zeke Wu is stranded on the road after his car suddenly breaks down. Then he meets a strange old man who invites him to have a cup of tea. That’s when his vision from the past grows stronger. He sees two men, Wayne and James, and though they feel familiar to him, he doesn’t recognize them at all. At least not at first. Sterling has been having dreams of Wayne and James for years now, but as he grows older, the dreams become more vivid, especially after an unexpected meeting with a strange old man who offers him a cup of tea. That’s when he discovers he’s Wayne’s reincarnation in this lifetime, and he has an overwhelming desire to locate James. Or who James is supposed to be presently. When they meet, Sterling feels an instant connection to Zeke, but it takes him a while to be sure that Zeke is the one he’s searching for. Moreover, Wayne and James’s love story ended in tragedy, and it seems his and Zeke’s love story may follow the same path. Will Sterling and Zeke get their happily ever after? Or are they doomed to follow in Wayne and James’s footstep?

Sterling opened his eyes. He felt rather lightheaded, and was sore everywhere. He couldn’t make sense of where he was. The last thing he remembered was the sight of his bloody shirt. He recalled being in Zeke’s arms, as well, but the memory was fuzzy. His lips were dry, and his throat felt scratchy. He attempted to make some noises, but couldn’t. He felt really weak, but wasn’t sleepy. He turned his head slightly to the right and saw Zeke seated in a chair and his head resting on the edge of the bed. That had to be an uncomfortable position in which to sleep. He wanted to call to Zeke, but he was unable to. However, he must have succeeded in making some sort of noise because Zeke abruptly raised his head.

“Sterling! You’re awake! I’m so relieved.”

Zeke started crying, and Sterling’s heart hurt for his boyfriend. He wished he could wipe away Zeke’s tears, but his current condition made that impossible. He tried to console Zeke, but ended up coughing instead.
