A strange discovery in the woods today: footprints in the snow, tracing a circle about three feet in diameter. Not left by a child: the
boots were large, the treads as thick as the ones on mine.
The snow still falls, and is deep, despite the fact that it
is, technically, spring.
The footprints overlapped, tracing the same circle over and
over, in a clear patch to the side of the trail. I admit I stood and stared at
it for a long time.
Who would do that? Who would step in a circle like that?
I might never know.

Great job! Love your writing!
Good post -original!
I wouldn't step in the circle. I'm weirdly suspicious.
Oooo intriguing! I agree with Alyssa.. I wouldn't go into that circle either! Looking forward to more!
Have a great weekend!

I love it - economy of words is not my strong point, but you, ma'am, have it nailed :)
@Jason. Thank you! It's a new experiment for me.
@A. J. I don't know about original. I am writing this for myself.
@Alyssa Why do you say that? Do you know something I don't?
@Ravyne I really don't see what the problem is. It didn't seem like there was any issue.
@Mark: Thank you! I'm playing a game with these posts. Hint: count the words.
