    Kyle rests back into the hospital pillow and lets out a sigh.  “The doctor wants to keep an eye on that temperature of yours.” his wife says. “How do you feel?”  “I’m comfortable now, Sara. A little sleepy, I think or…” “Kyle, the nurse gave you something to help bring the fever down because it was so high. She said you might drift in and out before it comes down.

    Winter was her favorite season. Well, not really. Autumn, maybe. She loved the colors, the cool breeze and cloudy days. But people thought winter was her favorite season, perhaps because she once said that snow was magical. She believed it, but winter wasn’t really her thing.
