It was one of those days on the fine line that separates fall from winter, when the air grows crisp and there is one day where the winter chill sets in and rain begins to fall around the area.
Michael was standing outside in the yard, a dark blue figure stark against the dull colors of fallen leaves and green grass. His hands were firmly jammed into his pockets in an effort to warm them, and his eyes were on the sky, head tilted back as he watched a light scattering of rain fall to the ground. The wind pushed it softly one way to the next and it swirled in the sky before its journey ended. Michael blinked as one drop landed on his eyelashes and the rain slips into an illusion of snow. He let one drop fall to his open mouth before he realized that it's not cold enough to be snow.
He pulled one hand out of his pocket and held it up to the sky to try and catch another drop in order to reinstate the illusion again. His heart jumped with hope as one speck floated down and rested on his finger momentarily before slipping down his hand. The clouds thickened overhead and the rain fell harder and harder until the illusion broke once more.
He put his hand back into his pocket and walked back to the house, rain sliding down his face like cold tears.
