Dirt Brown 1, Cerise 13, Glitter 16: Autumn
Author: Kat
Title: Autumn
Story: In the Heart
Colors: Dirt brown 1 (Autumn), cerise 13 (First in line), glitter 16 (Every day a little death. - A Little Night Music)
Supplies and Materials: Bichromatic (dirt brown and cerise), miniature, brush (sere), stain (Every increased possession loads us with new weariness. - John Ruskin), stickers (Types of pumpkin include Spooktacular, Jumpin' Jack and Caspar (the white pumpkin).), feathers (Your character wants out.), fabric (Jake feels approximately the same as this chihuahua), chalk (he also feels like this lady), glitter (Address).
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG
Summary: Jake gets coffee and gets existential.
Warnings: none.
Notes:
The coffee cart's little pumpkin was grinning at him. Jake wrinkled his nose.
He missed autumn in Ohio. The bright and lovely leaves, red and yellow, death dressed up in brilliant color. The air smelled like smoke, the stars sparkled ice-cold—sometimes the lawn frosted over.
It wasn't the same in New York. Here autumn meant jack o'lanterns and winter colds, chilblains and raspy throats. The air smelled like exhaust. Light drowned the stars.
The only pleasure he got these days was being first in line at the coffee cart. The man handed him his latte, and he turned away.
