Weekly Contest #370
Dear Diary, Today is December 29th, 1999. Christmas was a few days ago and it was absolutely perfect! Right at seven I bounced out of bed and shook my older sister, Amy awake.

She traced her finger along the picture imprinted in the window; a picture of a dead flower. She knew that in other towns, people would think it was odd considering living flowers are much more beautiful. Louisa squinted her eyes and peered through the window again, and there she saw it. The most beautiful thing she’d ever seen. It was a snowflake of the first snowfall of the year. Righ...
