"The Starcatcher's Secret"

Nancy always dreamed of reaching the stars. One night, she found a silver net in the woods, shimmering under the moonlight. She cast it into the sky, and a star fell into her hands, warm and glowing. The star whispered, "To keep me, you must trade time." “Trade time?” Nancy asked, confused. “Every wish you make takes a year from your life,” the star warned.Nancy thought for a moment, then whispered, “I wish for endless adventures.”The star flared, and Nancy felt younger and stronger. But as the light faded, she realized her life was now shorter, each adventure costing a year. Her journey began, chasing dreams, with time slipping away.
