Rylie stepped out into Fall and dropped into her rocking chair without a word. Piper had won, but Rylie wasn’t about to state it. Still, she peeked a grin at her sister’s face and saw a grin twitch at her lips.
Finally, Rylie took a sip of her coffee. Perfection. It trailed down her throat and created a warm pool in her stomach, making Rylie feel impervious to the cold despite her bare feet.
Read A House of Fallen Leaves Here
Many of you weren’t around when I participated in Writeober back in 2020, but let me tell you, I was a beast that month. I did Writeober, Fictober, and Inktober and I succeeded in all of them. How? I have no idea.
And how is this relevant? Well, I came up with a lot of cool stories idea that month, since every day I wrote a new short story with a new setting and characters. I’ve been wanting to go back and flesh out some of the stories, so “A House of Fallen Leaves” is my first step as a revamp of the story “Leaves” that I posted on October 1, 2020.
To my surprise, the story was approved on Vocal within a couple hours, and then, lo and behold, it appeared front and center on the homepage as a top story across the whole website!
Funnily enough, I almost didn’t finish this story. I wasn’t sure that anyone would really resonate with it, but the comments have already proven otherwise. All I can say is that it was prompting and motivation from God that convinced me to finish it, and I’m so glad I did.
I love fall (probably even more so because I don’t get to experience the weather here in Florida), so it’s fun for me to write about the season and try to capture its mood in a story. I hope you enjoy it!
Happy reading!

My neck hurts, y’all. Even though I’m careful to maintain good posture while working at my desk, my current desk chair simply doesn’t provide me with the support I need – but good desk chairs are expensive, and that’s why I need your help! Thank you so much for your support that allows me to keep producing free content. God bless you! ♥️ E.J.
