the leaf storm

the wind is picking up. the leaves, the ones that have fallen, the ones that are brittle and dead, swirl around and fly at the windshield. it looks like snow. the leaves twirl around, the force of the wind behind them, and they bump into the curb, or a house, or a windshield, or a person walking. they slide along the street like hovercrafts. each time they scrape against something, or run into something they break a little. because they are brittle. then the wind moves these broken leaves until they hit something else. and so on, and so forth, so the leaf is broken down into tinier and tinier pieces. so it is no longer a leaf, but just particles, being pushed by the wind.
