Snowy Hallucinations
"I'll be back soon!" I shouted out to the empty house, which replied to me in silence.I closed the old, wooden door behind me and was welcomed by the flat white platform of snow. Small flurries calmly floated onto the ground while others swirled around and lightly stung at my face like insects.Merely looking at the sight brought back a childhood memory of when I was at in this exact position of watching the snow fall and letting it melt in my hands within seconds.

I watched as the corner of her mouth blew open and closed, tiny puffs of air expelling as though they were bubbles reaching the surface. It was the only part of her that moved, the rest of her motions in a place far away. It was a different kind of peace, I thought, and she made finding it look easy.The moonlight leaked through the curtains and bounced off the skin of my hands.
