A Detour to the Second Floor

Ride shotgun for a bit. This one’s for FC August Prompts, though I cannot promise we are going anywhere.

A narrow paved road winds through autumn trees with golden-yellow and rust-colored leaves, some already bare. A white vehicle is partially visible around the bend. Green grass borders the road beneath a blue sky streaked with wispy white clouds.

Nov 6

Heavy Metal, Light Drizzle

Surviving three days of hostile gray skies, discarded pajamas, and a local wildlife performance.

A quiet Midwest neighborhood on a rainy November evening. Wet asphalt reflects amber and purple lights from nearby houses, while a slender, leafless tree stretches its branches across the dark, overcast sky.
