Original drabble: Winter Walk [general]
Title: Winter Walk Author: celandineb Fandom: none – original fic Rating: general Length: 100 words Summary: A walk through a snowy landscape. Note: Written as a holiday 2013 drabble.
In the stillness at the edge of the trees, you can hear the faint chime of ringing ice as the snowflakes drift down. Each one sets off a new note, the many together creating an almost-melody, a tune that you forgot in childhood and now half-remember.
A breeze rustles the few leaves still clinging, sets the snowflakes dancing in dazed and dizzying flurries around you. You blink the flakes from your eyelashes and tuck your hands deeper into your pockets. The sun slips down to rose and red and violet in the west. It is past time to go home.
