Frozen
Winter is a particularly fun season - A Drabble
As I walked through the snowy woods, a playful magpie rested on the treetops under the dancing snowflakes.
The wild rabbits began to dig deep under a pine tree. Slowly, a frozen, pale, stiff human hand emerged from its snowy grave.
As the furry creatures dug deeper, a lifeless human body was revealed.
Snowflakes had been dancing a quiet winter ballet, unaware of the mortal dangers, unaware of the hidden death that lay underneath them.
They were the only witnesses of the crime.
They became accomplices of the most haunting murder the town ever knew.
How could the snowflakes know?
