This verse that the author added, was to add a hint that something unusual is going on.

The verse made him think whether it was just a dream or was he thinking too much. The verse of the mysterious song said, “Sixteen moons, sixteen years Sixteen of your deepest fears Sixteen times you dreamed my tears Falling, falling through the years…”. When he doubled checked to make sure that it was a song in his ipod, there was nothing at all, the song was gone as if it was never there. The author tried to show a message through a song verse that shows up throughout the story which changes little by little leading a message to what is coming their way.Įthan heard a verse coming from his ipod, playing out of nowhere.
