[Contest] Three Hundred Word Fantasy -- The Moon on a String...

Today's image is a little object I found while browsing a stock art site. In three hundred words or fewer, write a short story (or vignette or post a manuscript snippet -- anything so long as it's not just bare description...) inspired by this picture here:

Moon Necklace

by Francisco Navarro on freeimages.com.

The object can feature in whatever way you want it to feature, or it can just spark an idea in your head -- it's up to you, as always.

I'll be in the back singing Moon river...
