Autumn walked with me and so I became autumn

I walked out of my home's front door and was hit by a slight chill. As I walked up the incline of the block, I was met with cool gusts of wind. Looking around, I noticed other walkers wearing jackets, sweaters, or long sleeve shirts. I tugged at my long sleeves to protect my hands from the chill. 

Trying to contain my large grin from being exposed, the image of my glove collection found itself in my head. I have various leather gloves in different colors that were purchased the years prior. One of them has cutouts of hearts. The other pair is made of a camel-brown leather. I also remembered my cashmere fingerless gloves. I love to wear these while gaming on my laptop on cooler days. 

As I crossed the street, I looked for signs of autumn. Luckily for me, the trees near a park got my attention. Some of the trees had strays of yellow leaves. Some trees were dressed almost entirely with yellow leaves. I lifted and quickly dropped my shoulders in glee. "I'll take a picture later," a thought arose.

The chill got stronger as I walked up north, giving me insecurity about my light layers. "I'll warm up during my walk," I comforted myself.

As I walked to another park, I paused and closed my eyes. Smaller gusts of wind were on my tail. And there were leaves all around me. I wanted my ears to hear the sound of the leaves dancing on the cement under my feet. My eyes were swimming in darkness while my ears were celebration to the finest tune of the season.

Filled with exhilaration, I opened my eyes to re-enter reality. It didn't take long before I realized I was laying on the floor. Suddenly I began to tumble. I felt light and...crunchy? I look around and leaves are tumbling around me but these leaves are massive. I began to bump against the leaves...and before I know it, I begin to fly above ground. I am lifting and gently laid down repeatedly. My ends are slightly curled and I am a light brown color. I have thick veins drawn on me. It's finally happened. I am one with autumn.
