Today’s prompt: Give us a mori girl inspired vignette! (a short, impressionistic scene that focuses on one moment or gives a particular insight into a character, idea, or setting) Don’t fret too hard over it, we’re not all writers by trade, haha. 

The sun was rising behind the clouds, washing them to a lighter gray. Rain pattered down, and the breeze through the canyon shook drops from the leaves. The rain made all the colors richer, the forest scents more alive. The dawn air was cold with autumn but the leaves were still green for now.

The woman matched the forest and the sky, with her hooded gray sweater and black boots matched to the soil of the forest floor. The basket on her hip was the same deep brown as the tree she leaned against. She stood alone and silent, her keen eyes searching the scene around her. Aha! There it is! A sunny smile curved her lips as she walked forward and stooped to pick the chantarelles she’d found and tuck them in her basket. Supper would be lovely tonight.
