The falling leaves disappeared and were replaced with an icy chill. Gwen could see her own breath. She suddenly wished she'd brought a jacket to class today. It was even starting to snow lightly inside her little planet, dusting her hair and shoulders with little white flecks. Not that they were very visible in her blonde hair, but she could feel them when she touched the top of her head.
