=The Cold Autumn= (Open)

Logs, lumber, wood, paper...

Something parched, something chalky.
Something dry, and something dusty.
Something rough that can be smooth,
Something we can sell just to have food.

It was a cold autumn morning where falling leaves drift by the windows of the homes in district 7. Several colors of leaves were scattered in the ground, some were yellow, some were brown, some are copper and some are orange. The colors were warm in the eyes, I was enjoying the morning, and the streets of district 7 were enveloped with silence. Well, it was still 6: 30 am in the morning and not much people were out yet.



Beside me stood my dog Honey, she's a Siberian Husky, her face were purely white in color, she has electric blue eyes, pink nose, and her fur was in mix of gold brown, white, gray, and black. We waited patiently for my twin by the porch of our house. What's taking her so long...

"Morning, Ashley!" My twin greeted. Her dog Bee, Honey's sibling followed her from behind.

Bee was the opposite of Honey. She was more aggressive in features, especially with the blacks, gray, and white colored fur also mix it with her yellow golden eyes, she looked more of a wolf unlike my dog Honey. But Bee is a sweet dog, she's a sweetheart, her personality is the opposite of how she looks. She's very playful, affectionate, just like Honey.

"So? Are you ready?" My twin asked. "Yeah! what took you so long?!" I hugged myself, it was really cold, my long gray colored long sleeve wasn't really helping me, and my wood brown colored hair were still damp. Honey was standing beside me, sniffing my brown knee cut boots, then Bee stood next to her and they started to play, biting each other playfully.

My twin smiled. She hugged me to warm me a little. she was wearing the same clothes as mine except hers was in different color, I am wearing a gray sleeve but she's wearing a brown, my inner tank is colored black but hers was colored pink. But both of us were wearing skinny jeans and brown knee cut boots. "Sorry, you know me." She said, smiling, showing off her pair of dimples.

I pursed my lips. My dimples were exposed too. "We're cutting school again. Sorry, Heart. We have no choice." Heart looked at me. "Pffft. I'd rather go to work because school doesn't help much, they just brain wash people... Good thing we have books at home for self study... So, let's go to work." She slid her hand to mine.

I didn't say anything, but I called both of Honey and Bee's attention that we are about to leave. Both dogs stopped playing and they followed us as we walked hand in hand toward the direction to the main street of District 7. It takes 15-20 minutes walk from our home to the main street. My twin and I reached the bakery, we stopped. "I'll meet you after the day. Okay??" I said. Heart nodded, she gave me a hug and we kissed each others cheek then I patted Bee goodbye. "I will wait for you here okay?" Heart said. I nodded, then I watched her disappear to the door of the bakery with Bee before I continued to the trading warehouse of D7.

I looked at Honey. Her icy blue eyes stared at me too. "It will be a long day, baby." I say to her. She tilted her majestic head and let out a whimper. "Don't worry, it will be fun...? I guess..." Honey's ears flatten against her head in a few degrees. Then she lowered her head and stared at me, she let out a whimper. "Awe..." I patted her and cupped her face between my palm. "Cutie, we'll be fine." Honey and I made some nose to nose affection. Then I giggled. "Let's go." I said. I wipe my nose with my hankie, and then we walked.
