Story: Calm in the winter

Dark as night it was in the deep wood. Morning was but only a few hours away and most of the creatures were still in deep slumber. The sounds of several owls echoed across the trees and only the slight sound of the scratching wind could be heard. The snow began to fall heavily upon the branches and ground. Logs were becoming covered in soft white blankets and the branches of bushes and trees were frosted. When the sun rises the sounds will change and the winter life will awaken. Smell the crisp snow and fresh air.
