[AUGUST]

What tidings had the first morning of December brought? The temperatures had been dropping considerably in the city for a while now, but as the new month was reigned in overnight, so was a fresh blanket of snow. Sheets of white covered rooftops, sidewalks, streets, cars, and trees all around. It was as if fluffy, white paint had been dumped, drenching everything in its path.

As for August, the young adolescent boy had been very excited to see the early Christmas gift that had greeted him just outside the window of his home. For one, school had been cancelled for the day, but he could also go play out in the snow! He had slipped on his puffy coat as well as long pants and boots, and he quickly made for his front door. "Not so fast, August Gabriel." His mother warned as she walked over and proceeded to fit a blue beanie onto his head. "Don't leave the street, okay? And watch out for cars." With that, August quickly mumbled, "Uh huh." and rushed out the door.

His boots crunched on the snow, and August nearly tripped over himself from all of the excitement. The brunette boy couldn't help but grin, and he giddily ran out into his yard and towards the sidewalk. This was so cool! Now, the question was — how was he going to spend the snow day?
