whispered, lying her head upon the winter breeds. My eyes shifted, but I was all too aware of how true her words rang. The gentle snowflakes could lull any tired soul into an infinite slumber. And I was certainly exhausted. The gentle song of the winds brought its chill upon us, and we were enchanted by these lyrics the heavens bestowed upon us. The silence was broken only by our steady breathing and whispers. After so many years, my heart could finally find peace amidst the chaos in the single…

Cracked, Crumbled and Dusty We heard the winds it was eardrum shattering again our thin windows, saw the sky turn black as the night and everything went quiet.

My mother yelled to me,” Maryanne get the wet towels and, Matthew take cover, it is coming. We knew what we were talking about, the dust bowl. All of a sudden out of…

3,2,1… The clamps release and we are shot forward like a bullet in a barrel. The wind rips through my hair, my head is flung back against the seat, by body locks, adrenaline rushing through me. All I see is blue. My heart races, blood pumping. Red and yellow streaks rush past. I soar higher and higher. My head is pressed firmly against the seat, my face being flattened by the strong wind.

It was a humid and quiet day with my dad. Sitting in the woods waiting for one thing and only one thing. The only thing to hear for miles was the wind whistling in your ear as it passed. It was the last wednesday of the month, November 29, 2016. The second day of rifle season at the same time the last day of rifle season.
