The leaf falls from the sky like a tiny red ship. It lands softly on my outstretched hand. I run to find where it came from. A tree stands tall with its branches reaching high into the air. Some leaves are green, but many are red and orange, like candy. The wind picks up and more leaves float down, swirling around me. They make a rustling sound as they touch each other. I clap my hands to catch another leaf, hoping it will stay in my palm long enough for a second look.
