I sat on the side of the Hill watching as the snow fell from the sky and land on the ground. It's been snowing for weeks, but it hasn't been sticking like it is right now. Most kids my age hope it keeps snowing for school cancellation or so they can go sledding. I just hope it keeps snowing so the cold will stay longer. I like the way the cold feels on my skin. It feels like a blanket every time I step outside sure it may be a cold but still it's nice.

I never understood why people make such a big deal about snow. If it's night time and you're driving in a car it looks like you're going through hyperspace. I also like walking through the snow trying to catch the little snowflakes on my tongue. I like the burning sensation I get in my ears when I try to heat them up, and my fingers and toes. The only thing I don't like the cold brings. Is the car crashes, and the frostbite.

The car crashes take the lives, and the frostbite can take your fingers and toes. Father always said people stop learning how to drive when they see snow fall. He said they act like idiots I never understood until I saw it. The man texting and driving while it was snowing and icy out. He didn't even see me walking. I live out in the country so there are no sidewalks but I was still wasn't even on the road I was off to the side. How did he not see me it had to be at least 2 in the afternoon, so the sun was still up. People really do Drive different when the snow starts to fall.

He was texting and driving while the snow is falling outside is very. He didn't realize that the road was icy because he was as father said driving like an idiot. But if it wasn't for him I never would have met father. I was walking from home to the cemetery like I normally do. I've been walking this route for 2 years ever since we moved out into the country. There's woods next to the cematary I've been there a couple times, but I never stayed long. Father lives in the woods he says he saw the whole thing the man texting while driving, and me just walking like I do everyday. Father said that he if he knew I was going to be this well-behaved he would have helped me a lot sooner, and not just when I was hurt laying there on the street.

I love the snow fall it reminds me of the day I met father. It reminds me of the day I'm at all my friends who live here in the Woods by the cemetery. Father says the man paid for what he did I never knew or asked how much money that was. Sometimes I think it was a money and he paid with something more valuable. I like walking out and catching the snowflakes on my tongue even though I get cold really cold sometimes. I go for my walks all the time now even if it is past dark no one can seem to notice me on the street though. I don't mind it's less people staring at me as I'm walking. I don't really like how I can't feel my toes anymore or my fingers. Father says it's because I get too cold, but it's been like that ever since the man in the car. I'm glad father gave me this journal to write in. He said it's not good to keep things bottled up. I know he reads this so I can't really take that about him or describe what he looks like for that matter. He doesn't know what he looks like. That's why anyone who goes in the woods doesn't really leave. They just become a part of the family.

Most kids my age wanted to keep snowing for school cancellations or to go sledding. I wanted to keep snowing so people will see my footprints their faces are funny when they realize they're more Prince than their own two feet. My friend with the skin that's almost as pale as the snow also likes winter the most as well. He said the red from people looks prettier in the white snow. Oh I have to go now father's coming and if he realizes I've been writing this whole time. Instead of doing my chores he's going to be mad. I just hope the snow keeps falling we seem to get more family members when it does.


Sorry for not writing for a while. I hope you I'll keep reading and hopefully tell your friends. Also do you celebrate it Happy Thanksgiving. I will update soon if I get more ideas I promise. Bye~~~~
