Owls

In my whole life I don't think I've ever seen an owl. I've watched them on TV and I've seen them in books and I want to see one; in real life. I want to feel one looking at me with big yellow eyes and I want to hear it fly away. You look at me and as soon as I finish my sentence you smile at me and you grab me and you tell me: Let's go.
We get up from under the blankets and we start putting on our clothes. You get up first and I watch you get dressed while you talk quickly about where we could go to look for one, where we could go to find me an owl. We both help each other in jackets, I wrap a scarf around you. We don't want to use the stairs, its to dark to see, there's no railing. I wouldn't be able to find my keys in the dark, stick it in the lock and twist. So we jump out the window, the ground is covered in layers and layers of snow so off we go. We jump into a nearby tree and we jump down from branch to branch and off we go into layers and layers of snow. Every step we take we sink further and further into the snow and it's a lot funnier then it exhausting and off we go into a small patch of trees.
