ELECTRIC MOONS

Each evening, the moon goddess Selene rises from the ocean, harnesses her long-maned horses, and drives her silver chariot into the dark. Her light drifts over the sea, across rooftops, through the dreams of sleepers.

One night, it fell upon Endymion, a shepherd asleep in a cave on Mount Latmos. He had the beauty of sleeping things: unguarded, distant, perfectly still. Selene fell in love — not with what he said or did, but with what she saw by her own light.

Zeus offered Endymion a single wish. He chose eternal sleep: deathless, ageless, his eyes closed against all the nights to come.

And so their fate was sealed. Night after night, Selene crosses the sky to look upon him in the moonlight. Night after night, Endymion sleeps. She loves him endlessly. He never once looks back.
