1. Snowfall
The first snowfall of the year came silently in the night, blanketing Solaris in a layer of pure, untouched white. By morning, the world was transformed into a winter wonderland, the rooftops, trees, and cobblestone streets covered in a soft, glittering powder. The air was crisp and cold, carrying the scent of pine and the faint sound of church bells ringing in the distance. Children burst from their homes, bundled in colorful scarves and mittens, their laughter echoing as they threw snowballs and made snow angels on the ground.
Stevie watched from her window, her hands wrapped around a steaming mug of cocoa, remembering the joys of winter's long past with her family. The snow continued to fall, each flake unique, yet together they created a perfect, seamless blanket over the earth. It was a kind of magic, the way everything seemed to slow down, as if the world had paused just to admire the beauty of the falling snow. By nightfall, the village was bathed in a soft, ethereal glow, the moonlight reflecting off the snow like a million tiny diamonds. For that one day, as snowflakes danced in the air, it was as if time itself had stopped to embrace the peaceful beauty of winter.
