  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Welcome to the sixth adventure in the beloved Clockmaker of Dreams series, a magical journey where childhood courage meets the forgotten dreams of adults. 
  The Clockmaker of Parents’ Dreams: The Night Lina and Kevin Helped Their Parents Dream Again takes listeners deeper into the Dreamworld than ever before, revealing a place where the hopes of grown-ups shine like distant stars, dimming or glowing depending on the strength of their hearts. 
  Most parents tell children to sleep so they can rest, but what happens when parents themselves forget how to dream? Most children want to grow strong and brave, but what if the people raising them quietly lose the dreams that once taught them to hope for a better tomorrow? When a golden feather drifts into the bedroom and a ladder of moonlight slides from the sky, Lina and Kevin know their old friend has returned. The Clockmaker appears just as he has in their past adventures, gentle, wise, and calm, yet this time his smile is smaller, and the lantern he carries glows with an urgent, tired warmth. There are no jokes. No riddles. Only the quiet seriousness of someone who has seen something go terribly wrong. 
  Lina and Kevin have flown through many dream worlds before: Christmas dreams, backward dreams, haunted dreams, but tonight the path is different. Instead of guiding them into dreams that belong to children, the Clockmaker leads them into the forgotten inner worlds of adults. The Dreamworld stretches overhead like a glowing sky filled with floating clocks, each one a symbol of human hope. When dreams are alive, they buzz with bright colors. Now, many of them flicker like fading nightlights, exhausted and dim. 
  Two clocks catch the children’s attention: one warm red, one pale blue. They pulse weakly, trembling like candles in the wind. These are the dreams of their parents.

  "The Little Match Girl"  is a literary fairy tale by Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen. The story, about a dying child's dreams and hope, was first published in 1845.
  On a freezing New Year's Eve a poor young girl, shivering and barefoot, tries to sell matches in the street. Afraid to go home because her father will beat her for failing to sell any matches, she huddles in the angle between two houses and lights matches to warm herself.
  In the flame of the matches she sees a series of comforting visions: a warm stove, a holiday feast, a happy family, a magnificent Christmas tree. In the sky she sees a shooting star, which her late grandmother had told her means someone is on their way to Heaven. In the flame of the next match she sees her grandmother, the only person to have treated her with love and kindness. To keep the vision of her grandmother alive as long as possible, the girl lights the entire bundle of matches.
  When the matches are gone the girl dies, and her grandmother carries her soul to Heaven. The next morning, passers-by find the girl frozen, and express pity. They do not know about the wonderful visions she had seen, or how happy she is with her grandmother in heaven.

  The Pioneer

  The Pioneer by Irving Cox Jr - Greg was sure the kids had no right being in control of a planet; after all what had they learned about life? Still, what had he learned? 
  The old ship wheezed and clattered into the landing slot. Greg was an expert pilot, but skill was no substitute for outdated equipment. He unstrapped the safety webbing and eased himself out of the cabin, cluttered with its worn and scarred electronic gadgetry. With the handcrank he opened the airlock. Rusting metal screamed as the panel slid back into the hull. Greg found himself panting from the sudden muscular effort in the heavier atmosphere of the earth. 
  I'm an old man, he thought bitterly—old at forty; as antiquated as my ship, and as much in need of repair. But no one can do anything for either of us. I gave them the stars, and in twenty years they've forgotten. They've made me a museum piece, these pampered, undersized kids of the new generation. 
  Greg walked down the ramp. He hadn't been home for seven years, but he was still surprised that no flight inspector met him with the officious clipboard of check-out sheets. The landing fields in the colonies were far more efficiently supervised. 
  Greg saw a light in the field control building and walked toward it. The field, sprawling for miles across the California desert, was empty, a mocking moment to the magnificent dream the new generation had rejected. Behind him Greg saw the long rows of landing slots, towering metal shafts raised against the night sky. Only four ships rested in the slots, his and three other rusting cargo carriers. In front of the unlighted terminal building the passenger liners stood untended, decaying hulks that would never lift again. Fifteen years ago—even as recently as ten years ago—the California field had hummed with activity.
