Open up with a video zooming into the Moonbeams for Ellen book on a table, daffodils paper and maybe melting wax and stamps around it. (Give it a set). Camera settles on the cover, and the cover begins to move. The man on the front smiles towards the camera, and waves his sprinkler like a lasso (?) to flip the book open. Shows the inside cover, the picture of Ellen and dedication, and rests on the first letter, zooming into “Dear Moonbeam…” and the page fades into the scene.
The camera zooms past a tall water tower, foggy in the foreground, towards the window of a house through which Grandpa Gillis can be seen, sitting at a desk tapping his pen on a piece of paper. The clock reads 2:30am.
The paper transforms into a gnithon, swirls around him and out the window back towards the Tower. He stands and looks after it.
He steps out of the house, and starts up the looming hill as a comet streaks across the sky towards the Tower. He reaches the base.
The comet hurtles through a cluster of stars, shaking them a little loose as it pasts by the crescent moon. The force shakes moonbeams loose and they pour into the Little Dipper below.
He watches with despair as the Little Dipper begins to overflow, and the moonbeams pool at the top of the Tower.
A fairy places wings on the pack of his slippers. He rises in two jumps to the top of the Tower. The fairy points and dances around the beams, the comet beginning to disappear into the horizon.
He stuffs his pockets full of moonbeams, until the fairy tugs at his robe as storm clouds roll over. He leaps down, as it begins to pour, and lightning strikes, and just as his feet touch the ground he bolts awake at his desk. Dawn is breaking, morning doves singing.
He begins to write excitedly.
The scene freezes, and dissipates into a drawn image on paper. The paper folds up into a letter, and the words TO: MOONBEAM, PUSAN, SOUTH KOREA appear in the middle. The postage gets stamped, with the date 10 April 1970, and the return address “BELLEVUE HILL”. The camera pans down, along a stack of sprawled letters with dates postmarked (dates listed below). Pan ends on the back of the cover with an image of Frederick J Gillis Sr.
