The Patterns Leaves Cast

Jenny was under a tree she didn't know the name of, sitting on a park bench with a book. While she got books at the library for a nominal monthly fee, friends and lovers were luxuries she didn't have. Jen felt like a single red rose, a present received only once by her. The book told of one man's journey through India, and the hues of the leaves slowly shifted as she read through it, from an inviting green to melancholic orange and yellow, but they remained primarily green by the day she finished it.

When she closed the book, rays of sunlight passed through the leaves to speckle the paperback with shadow and shine. She looked at the pattern and the branches and sun above and saw no connection between the abstract artwork and its makers. Throwing her gaze at the cover, the library behind her with its columns embodying civilization, the fountain right in front of her which bragged about the passage of time, she felt the wind pass politely by her and recollected the stories she had read so far.

Jenny stepped on the gravel, traveling to the repository of books, and felt an ice-cold river pass through her heart. Arriving, she chose a classic novel set in bygone times and thought about this possibly being the last book she will ever read. A mysterious feeling had shown up in her head, and the birds sang along with it in the park. Her bench was still free, and after sitting down, she looked at the cover speckled with light.
