Unlike the other books in her bag, this one was blank, no words, no lines, no pictures. Nothing. The cover was warped and scratched, and it was held together with immitation old fashioned binding. Digging around in the front pocket of her bag, trying not to fall out of the tree, Harely looks for and finds a mechanical pencil. A balancing act begins as she starts to sketch the sunrise over the park.
She can see most things from her vantage point, and her clever fingers manage to put vauge shadows of them on the paper. The stream, the playground, the park benches, and the gates out of the park over towards her home - or rather, her place of residence, as it didn't feel like a home nowdays, with her parents gone, and her overbearing oldersister in control. NO! She screams internally Don't think. Just sketch. Don't think. Trying to devote herself to the almost mindless task of sketching an impression soon becomes a battle, as memeories come flooding back, drifing in and out of her mind and leaving visable reminants on her cheeks. Giving up with an sigh, she returns the sketch book back to her bag and surveys the lands scape around her with a critical eye. Ignoring the soundless tears that fall without restraint down her face. The crows in the opposite tree begin to caw noisely, and she can't help but yell wordlessly back at them. A not so subtle way of venting her annoyance at the fragility of life.
She is startled from her childishness as she hears somebody splashing up the creek from the direction of the forest. Manovering herself in the forked branches of the oak, she turns an peers down to ground level and along the curves of the creek. All she manages to make out from the gloom is a weirdly fimiliar pair of battered tennis shoes. Without stopping to think Harley yells out to the musical girl from the night before "HEY! Hows it going down there?"
