The leaves begin to change to vibrant shades of reds, oranges and yellows, slowly falling down onto the dry, cracked ground. As I walk up the driveway to my grandparents house I hear the crunch of the leaves under my shoes, just as I go to open the door I hear something quickly scurry away from behind me.
