Silver

It's a snowy morning today, and I'm starting my walk. When I was bundling up and having a steamy cup of tea, it was dark outside, but now the sun's orange light was beginning to touch the snow, making the landscape look wonderful and colourful. I step outside into the winter wonderland, and scan my eyes across the lawn and to the woods, and everywhere little twinkles of colours greet me cheerily.

I step into the mixed forest, and the raccoon part of me wishes to take control over my body. The fluffy snow clings to my pants as I walk towards my favourite tree in the wood. It's a large oak called the Telling Tree, because you absolutely have to tell the truth under it, about anything, including yourself.

I stop under the tree and sit down. This had been where I first saw her, a girl more beautiful than the spring flower.

I am Kendrick O-Brien, and this is my story.
