"Prompt: What is the best thing about October?"

Personally I think the best thing about October is that it only comes once per year. I don't like October because it is the beginning of cold, dreary weather and the season on falling leaves. October means I have 6 months of looking at trees without leaves ahead of me. I don't think God created anything quite as ugly as a tree without leaves! I always want to move south in October!

"Prompt: “Sometimes it is good to fly close to the flame, see and experience the heat, but then fly away again, to survive, to be wiser in the art of heat.”
Robert Black
