A chill ran down my spine when I noticed the icy smell in the air. It served to warned us winter was almost here. Lost forever in my own mind, I was brought to reality for a split second. A leaf fell in front of me landing on the pavement. When I looked up I finally noticed how bare the trees had gotten. Things aren't the same anymore, I chose to leave. However this time I left with a sense of freedom from the grip that the lack of change had on me.
