Autumn - Very Short Story

They walked into the forest together; the ground crunching and crumbling under their footsteps. Autumn had streaked through the park at night and trees were now alight with reds, oranges and yellows. A cacophony of colour beckoned the couple to explore and walk deeper into the unknown. With fingers interlaced, they watched as birds flew overhead, squawking orders to one another. Squirrels scampered up and down large old gnarly trunks, busily picking up acorns for their food stores. The woods were alive and pulsating, readying itself for the long hibernation ahead.

They shivered and drew each other closer as a cool breeze danced between them. She could see warm breath leave his body and suddenly craved the intimate dance he shared with the air around him. His lips were slightly moist and she felt the deepest urge to kiss him. She stopped walking and pulled him closer to her, her hands clutching at his jacket. He wrapped his arms around her body and drew her in.

The glow of the forest warmed their hearts.
