Summer

She sits elegantly on the concrete staircase, in a ruffled dress and summer hat. The trees and grass move gently in the breeze. She hears birds chirping and watches them flutter around the bird feeder, sees a fluffy-tailed squirrel dash across the lawn. The sounds of summer surround her, and she leans backwards to let the warm rays of sunshine caress her pale face. She falls backwards and realizes hazily that she's still in bed.
