As if it was a dream
"Scary" is my name

It was a lovely Friday and I had to do my article on coloring and making seamless pattern project. I had finished my morning house chores. ▪
So, I took my color box, brushes, colour book, pencil and an eraser. In the beginning I was wondering what should I draw and my attention drew towards the weather.
▪
My brown hair looked disheveled thanks to the gust of wind. So, I just brushed away my hair as I felt tingling sensation on my neck. Then sudden outburst of bright light fell in my eyes. I couldn't even see through the horizon with a sunny sky. It was a beautiful day and I had to sip my cup of tea. I felt it really warm.

I was sitting by the backyard door. ▪
Talk about the drip, drip, drip of the faucet. As the tap was not closed permanently. I felt as though I was literally in a sink hole. So, I went to the kitchen sink grabbed the towering tap and closed it. The sound was as if telling me, it's 'Winter' and you have to snuggle up your socks and wear a sweater to feel warmer. Because, the kitchen sink was cold. And window gave a hope of the perfect alignment of the clouds and the rooftop, the trees and the plants. As though there is an image within an image as I sipped through my cup of tea.
▪
Then the tree trunk looked like an artwork. So, I felt more like an artist. Took a picture of my own house backyard. I was submissive about the position. But, hey ! I thought it's worth it to draw seamless patterns. As the day went by I finished house chores and my painting.

Weather changed like from nowhere to extreme. ▪
It was getting chillier and chillier. Sound of the swaying wind was as though snoring away. Then the night time was surely coldest as the Sun set. The 'Moonlight' and the shinning of the 'Stars' were twinkling bright yellow. But the tree was silent.
▪
After dinner everybody did the duty of doing the dishes, keeping the food, cleaning the table and keeping their clothes ready for the next day. So, we brushed our teeth and straight went into the warm bed. But, in the middle of the night I felt as if I was sleeping in a refrigerator. I was freezing to death and I checked the temperature 5℃. ▪
So, I thought of the morning being so warm and sunny 17℃. I pondered at the moment of my painting and I felt relieved. What on earth did happen ?

Dream simpler gets to be complicated ▪
I thought it was just bad dream. I fell asleep until the alarm went on at 6am "Trinnnnng, trinnnnng".
▪
Gosh !!! All that happened was in the night.
▪
OMG ! Loud thunder.
▪
Again, the next day it was a yet another scary wintry night. But, to our luck it was better than yesterday. As it was suppose to be the 'Winter Break' that had just started.
