Silence - A skephalo story

Snow // Chapter 1

The time read 4:01

The time Zak always got ready for school. By then his painting was completed, he left it on his desk per usual and got up to take his shower.

As he turned on the shower, he checkes his phone, seeing some notifications from a group chat with his friends. All were from last night since they don't wake up until 6. School normally starts at 7:10, But Zak gets ready earlier so he can go take a walk outside.

One of his favorite hobbies was photography and on his calender, he marked that today at 5:23 would be the perfect hour to take photos.

He got in the shower, feeling the warm water hit his tanned complexion. He began to wash his hair, still thinking about how the day is going to go today. He never really liked change, so if we were to do things differently it would probably ruin some of his plans.

He and his friends decided that today after school, they would head to the park to sit at their bench with a bunch of convience store snacks and just talk. Walk around and just admire the end of the day.

Zak loved that his friends would make these events. They don't sound particularly interesting to anyone else but they all knew what the experience was like. It was fun and had feeling to it despite sounding boring.

Zak continued his shower by washing out his hair, getting rid of any soap duds, washing his body and conditioning his hair. He normally chose neutral scents but Zak had a secret love for the smell of watermelon kids shampoo and conditioner, it sounded childish but he absolutely loved the scent.

He turned off the shower and dried off. Grabbing his clothes. The outfit of choice being a black pair of skinny jeans, with red sneakers to match. He decided to wear a black longsleeve undershirt and threw on a neutral blue colored hoodie, rolling up the sleeves to see the black undershirt. He fixed his hair fluffing it up and grabbed his silver necklace. He threw the homework he completed last night into his bag, while throwing other essentials. Once he was done he read the time.

4:53

He decided to head downstairs and get a tiny snack of apples and yogurt and went back up to his room.

To pass the time he read an online book. He also searched up some photography pictures for inspo later this morning. He always kept a certain theme for these photo shoots. Today he chose to take pictures of the roads with the houses in the backgrounds, same with the forests. He even decided to make a snowman to compliment the picture. He couldn't wait.

Zak fixed his hair again and sprayed some cologne as well as a fruit perfume he got from his sister. He thought it matched his hair perfectly. He slightly smiled at this thought and got his beige messenger bag that already had his camera equipment packed. He began to walk out of his room and down the stairs, being careful to not awake anyone in the house. He grabbed his keys and silently walked outside. He turned around to close the door and locked it.

He began walking down the road to find a perfect place to take a picture of. Successfully he got two pictures of either side of the road and walked further. Once he got to the crosswalk it started to snow. He decided to take a picture of the park across the street to capture the snow.

Once he got it, he began walking to the park, he looked around at everything to find the perfect spot.

There it was. The spot next to a huge pine tree.

He set down his stuff and began to make the snowman. He gathered some supplies and layed them out.

Until he heard a noise. He looked around confused and a bit skeptical.
