Gabrielle

Ian's POV

The wind sang through the pinkleaved trees in my courtyard, sending loose leaves on a dancing funfair ride. The celestial fireball in the sky, scorched my bare skin.

Bees buzzed around happily and the magpies in the sky sang an unfamiliar tune. I took a sip of scotch from a transparent wine cup and dropped it back on the brown sidetable beside me. I adjusted myself on the golden coloured sofa and breathed in deeply.

The combination of several delightful aromas, being released by the sweet smelling flowers that ran like snakes on the walls of the courtyard, saturated my nose.

I stared at the small pool in the middle of my courtyard, admiring how the pink leaves fell on it calmly, not minding the occasional wind that blew gently. At least the leaves were living a calm life.
