Story Conflicts and Resolutions
The story begins with a kid going to a school and, as usual, being bullied by other kids because of his father, who did not pay the school fee, and also due to the torn shoes he was wearing. Carter, Jim’s father, used to work as a janitor in a shopping center, whatever he earns he use to spend it on alcohol. Jim and Carter live in a hut near a station. A day came when Jim found a toy in a trash can near his house, which really appealed to him. The toy was never actually a toy, it uses to blink every time when someone appeals him and talk to him. Jim started spending most of his time talking to him and sharing whatever was happening to him on the day that passed. Jim named the toy Calisto. Jim was very close to him until he found out that his father had been in an electric shock while working. By the time they reached the hospital, Jim’s father was dead. Calisto saw Jim crying; he went into the room and used his supernatural powers to give Carter a new life. Jim saw what Calisto did to his father, but after that, Calisto stopped blinking. Jim did everything that was in his hands to make Calisto blink again. While Jim was sleeping he heard a voice coming from the inside of Calisto, that voice was actually a signal that showed that Calisto’s friends were coming. A spaceship arrived, which took Calisto with itself. After that, the same daily routine started. Jim used to get bullied, and his father started working again. Jim got alone. When he lost every hope that Calisto would come back, Calisto returned, and this time, he came with his friends and started living with Jim.
Conclusion
It doesn’t really matter that to whom or to what you’re loving. What matters is how pure your love is and how dedicated you are to doing that. It’s really true that love never ends.
