Introducing 'Written In Stars'- comments much appreciated

I have mentioned my novel before and have made definate progress in it. I am posting the prologue to my story on this blog in the hopes that someone would comment on what needs to be changed and would should be kept. Ladies and gentleman, introducing page 1:




One never knows how much life can depend on a single moment. A second where ones perception overtakes all cohort thought. A minute of highly strung mistakes trickling away into a cursed hour. It's everydays decisions you make that can alter your reality to the one thing you hate most.
Like every star in the sky, someone burns away to fuel another. Someone explodes in a Supernova to free new particles and gases into the air to someday create lives of their own. I've never taken it into much consideration and probably never will, these thundering questions of why do we question what's already on paper? Why do we question prophecies or ancient scrolls half-forgotten?
Question is a danger, second to decision. Each question and answer alters perspective, thought and that one second decision time to make up your mind. One can learn in various ways the concequences, or ignore the crutial facts. It's like questioning the future when you've yet to figure out the present.
I remember Donnie once telling me that it was a fault to be scared of the dark. I can even remember agreeing for the sake of it. Yet here I find myself with a candle beside my bed, scared to diminish the light I had once found amongst 'them'. A light I had lost once more due to another faulty decision. Why hadn't it turned out in the end?
It's a question, and one that I decide to place behind me. Another fault I had made when all I had treid to do was the opposite. I remember the start, I remember the end. Dark, gloomy and blood red petals falling from the sky above me. Feathers perhaps?
But do I care to share this information to the world? Do I dare tell everyone that their answers and beliefs had all been wrong? That the media had once again decided to pull a veil over the cruel thruth of the end?
I'll try to give one last time, though I'm not sure if this will even reach you.
The decision will always be yours, and that decision can change the future, make a difference and stand out.
One moment thought f a previous action can drive the world into a different direction.
One decision, one life, one second.
That's all it takes.
