During the day Helen made sculptures. At night, she practised catching light.
She collected glasses and mirrors, candles and lamps. Anything that would shine.
She put lanterns in every room. Mirrors caught and reflected the light. She covered the walls in glittering glass so that they could shine too.
After Helen’s father died, she had the house to herself. Each night she slept in a different room.
She would always choose the one with the best view of the moon and the stars.
