The orangey-red leaves of autumn flutter down the road in a gust of wind. Their large range of colours spread around the quiet neighbourhood. Her giggles surround the area, giving joy to her parents as they watch her frolic in the autumn leaves. A bright smile is on her face as the colours move around her body in a whirl.

Her older brother shakes his head, but a small smile is seen upon his lips; as his younger sister drags him over to the large heap. "Have some fun for once," She says, throwing leaves at him. He laughs; joining in.

Everything is so peaceful. The air is clear; fresh, and the sky... beautiful, with white, puffy clouds everywhere. The breeze is a perfect mix between warmth and coolness. It's almost as if for one moment, everyone is at peace with the world- almost, is the key word.

Loud shots from a revolver are heard next door. She stops spinning, he stops laughing, and their parents stop talking. They run inside their small house, looking out the front window. He runs out of the house next door, a gun in his hand. He's laughing, a happy grin on his face. He looks relieved, like he just finished doing something the he had wanted to do for a while.

Her parents held them tightly, obviously afraid. Though she wasn't scared, in fact she was proud. She already knew what happened next door.

He had finally done it, he had finally won. He was free. He stood in front of his neighbour’s house.

She squirmed away from her family, ignoring their protests and grabs. She ran through the front door and over to him. He lifted her in a tight hug before they both ran away... together.



They ran and they ran. They were finally free. Her thin arms, as she held his hand, showed all of the battles that she had lost against herself. His lanky body showed the dark colours of purple, blue, and green.

Even though they were young, they knew what they were doing. They knew how hard the real world was; they had experienced it many times before.

But all of that didn't matter. They are together, and they are a circle.



They would never end.
Not what I was going to upload for the literature part of my account, but I was bored..
