Stagnant
By SMYGO4EVA
Snowflakes had begun to fall down from the sky lazily and the languid pace made Earth look like a winter wonderland, a place out of a dream.
Hotaru sat down upon the empty bench in the park just on the outskirts of Tokyo, humming to herself as she breathed more winter magic into the air. There is silence except for her steady breathing and the melodic sound of icy branches jingling in the light breeze.
A Christmas song Chibi-Usa had taught her popped into her head.
All is calm, all is bright…
A minuet smile tugged at Hotaru's lips as she recalled the lyrics.
