Time froze and the earth stood still
As a little girls tear rolls down her cheek
The air is crisp as the tear falls from her chin
A high pitched shrill breaks out as the tear drop hits the snow covered ground

A strong gust of wind blew, and a scream that could shattered the ears of the dead emitted from this little girls mouth
Suddenly all was still, like the moment before the first fall leaf drops
She pulled a knife out from her coat pocket
Grasping it with her little white mitten
Shaking slightly she clutched that knife
As she looked up at the pale grey sky she whispered one word "why?"
Blood quickly flowed from her neck
A beautiful scene of white splattered with vibrant hues of red
