What is Aurora Austra?
1.
Aurora Astrum was a few inches north of five feet. She had black hair, so black that it was almost blue. And it shimmered and shined that day in May. Her eyebrows were thin at the edges of her face and curved such that it appeared that she was up to something when you looked at her. Her lashes were long and black. Her emerald green eyes were flecked with gold and blue. Her cheeks and lips were the color of Shiraz. Her ears were tiny and elfin in shape, not quite pointy. Her breasts looked like you could fit them in the wine glasses you’d used after you had drunk the Shiraz with which you had painted her lips and cheeks. She couldn’t have been more than 115 pounds and 22 years old. And I wanted her. If you took her face as a whole, with her new moon colored hair as the background, her face would show you where she got her name.
The Aurora Borealis is nothing more than space dust emitting radiation on the Van Allen belts in the northern hemisphere of Earth, impressive to look at, but nothing more than a cosmic fireplace. The Aurora Astrum was the singularly most impressive thing I had ever seen.
The most beautiful woman in the world.
