“So, your favourite season has always been autumn?” Leaves rustle on a crisp autumn Monday morning...
“Yes, its colour calms me... The sound of wind ghosting through the foliage trees, singing a euphonious melody that haunts the listener. Milky white butterflies flitted past the other oaken bench, where overgrown weeds twine.
“Well, I’ve always been more of a winter person.” The wind calls out to him, ever so gently;
“Hm,” As the leaves fall; dried and ashen from the trees it once clung to...
