100 Word Challenge

BATH Fighter Danced Orange Clumsily

A leaf, a fighter, struggles against the pounding breeze. Nearby her brother’s plucked from his stem, and joins the swirling mass. He danced wildly in the air before a sudden wind carries him upwards, towards the sky. His siblings swiftly follow, a horde of speckled mustard, apricot and tangerine. Then the wind lessens, and they drift blankly down. They weave nimbly between the highest branches before plummeting, mere metres from the grass. Floating above a bath of orange, our leaf spots others who’ve resolved apon the ground. Clumsily, he skims the earth, then settles in for a final rest.
