Day 804

Autumn approaches and the leaves begin to fall yet the trees never seem to grow bare.
It's been three years since the first leaves refused to drop.
Children are growing never knowing what bare branches are and why they are still drawn.

At first this didn't appear to have any significant negative affect on the country, just concern.
Though the falling leaves have been studied, the ones on the trees have not.
Somebody knows something about them and isn't saying a word.

They are keeping quiet so as to avoid the obvious panic that would com from the news.
After all, who wants to hear that the leaves are a disjointed creature that preys on mammalian meat?
Birds no longer nest in the trees, dogs no longer mark them and even humans subconsciously stay away.

People are either unable to see the countless skeletons ensnared among the branches or can't see them.
It's a bit puzzling really, especially as the bones glisten so brightly in the sunlight.
The remnants of digestive enzymes make them shine like diamonds.
