day

it was just a day, like any other day. the air was cool in the morning and there was dew on the grass, then the sun rose and dried the dew and heated the air. the day became warm and a gentle breeze ruffled through the trees. it was warm but not hot and because it had rained in the night, the sky was clear - scrubbed and bright. it was a just a day, like any other day. well, like any other day to most people. to milly, it was not like any other day. to milly, it was the first day.
