Crunchy Leaf Kick

I bounded out through the garden gate and trotted along the sidewalk straight into the neighborhood park! Right beside a weathered bench, a thick drift of dry autumn leaves had piled up against the stone curb. I dashed in and took a brisk running kick right into the golden heap! Crisp leaves exploded upward with a loud, papery crunch, fluttering all through the air around me. I scrambled after the swirling swirl, catching a brittle leaf between both hands before giving another bouncy hop that sent dried flakes scattering across the path!
