Trapped Leaf
Hanging from the tree, he'd thought about it before. The tree had told him, too. "There will come a time when I have to let you go." He'd pictured it, and he'd seen the joy in it. Dancing in the wind with all his leafy friends. And then the day came, late in September. The tree said: "Go ahead, jump!" And off he went, unafraid and curious about the future. And while he was falling, dreaming of the wild dances he was going to make, the fall stopped. Just like that. Suddenly. What? Where were all the other leaves? WTF?
