Submitted to Contest #51

I blinked wearily, looking down at my feet as the frigid cold stung my cheeks with a harsh slap. Puffs of air flew from my mouth as I shivered, nudging the pack of hard ice that rested by my foot. The night was quite calm. The trees were swaying in perfect harmony with the wind, their branches adding to the melodic symphony. Crickets hummed somewhere in the dark abyss of the forest and an owl pierced the night sky with its familiar call.I stared up at the sky, taking in the stars that were usually drowned out by the city lights.

Submitted to Contest #44

"And you're sure you have everything?"The sharp winter wind whistled and slapped my face as I watched Tom load his last bag into the back of a taxi. His black hair fluttered along in the direction of the wind, his cheeks flushed from the cold. I rubbed my hands together as he stepped away from the car and walked over to me and nodded. "Yes, I do! Quit worrying about me already!"He sent me a glare, but I knew there was no anger behind it.
