The day was cold inside and out. The snow had been falling all night long, and late into the morning. These were no christmas time flakes, they were small icy ones that formed too high in the sky to fall gently on the tongue. The wind had blown the powder into drifts that sheltered the bushes and garbage bags ready for tuesday pick up.
She pulled at her collar, and clasped her coat shut. The buttons had popped off the previous winter after a night of drinking and a slippery fall. Now she held on for warmth and heaved her breath in, ready to face the frosty air.
Every winter she wondered to herself, what made her stay. She could never manage to stay warm enough to be of any use outside in the winter time. Perhaps it was her love of fall that kept her around, and her love for spring that pushed her through the endless winter. Either way, she was here now for who knows how long, ready to face another day. Only this time she did it alone.
