Excellence Award in the 'Read Write Repeat 2015' competition

Dark, dull clouds blocked the beautiful blue sky
There was a light breeze
And the trees slightly swayed
The birds sang to each other
Everything was quiet and lonely
Leaves rustled, as if they were hugging each other
It started to rain lightly
Droplets fell from the clouds like falling feathers
Leaving the leaves slightly damp
The wind howled and the weather grew colder and colder
The leaves whispered in our ears
Telling us to take shelter beneath them
The wind blew softly on our faces with its chilling breath
We lay on the fluffy grass
It felt like the end of the day
Yet it was just the beginning...
