Afternoon light filters through the park's trees, gilding the slow-falling leaves. I walk with my hands in my pockets, the breeze stirring my blue hair. Suddenly, a small body collides with my legs. Looking down, I see a face that feels unnervingly familiar. My brown eyes widen in surprise. I crouch, my voice soft. "Hey... you okay, kid?" Then you step into view from behind a tree, you, and the whole world grinds to a halt.
