MONDAY'S CHILD IS FAIR OF FACE
[presto]
AMELIA ▲ VENISON My eyes flicker to the garden outside my families window, wishing for the snow to melt so that I can get back to the gardens that I love. I just want to see the flowers bloom but for now I guess I can't do that because it's just a world of gray outside. It's February, not long until spring, only one more month, I guess I can make it that long. Sighing, I turn away from the window and decide I need some air, I'm tired of being cooped up in here with my siblings. There are too many of us in one house. Grabbing my coat, I slip on my boots and head out the door, walking slowly to enjoy the day. It's not snowing or raining but the sky overhead is cloud covered and promising precipitation. Thank goodness my coat has a hood. I breathe in the scents of snow and cold air, enjoying it as it swirls into my lungs and spreads through my body. It feels good to be out here, away from the pressures my parents put on me to be a career, plus, it's Saturday so I should have the day off. I don't even know where I'm going but somewhere is better than home. Before I'm even aware of it, my feet have carried me to one of the parks that are scattered around the district. It's beautiful in this park in autumn, now it's just a bunch of trees standing guard like skeletons, their leaves all long dead and gone. Silently, I walk through the skeleton trees, just gazing in fascination at the loneliness of the trees. It's like walking through a graveyard, the eerie silence almost deafening. Footsteps snap me out of my gazing and I look up to see a figure walking towards me. My manners drilled into me by my parents kicks in and I put on a smile, waving even though I don't know the person. What am I even doing? "Good day" I call. ▲ T E M P L A T E B Y C H E L S E Y ▲ |
