  5. Brent Mason: A day in a life

    For those that think summer ends on Labour Day, the days before the Equinox are sometimes thought of as early autumn. Before the fall. Eyes crack open at the crack of dawn that lands later every morning. Dark days coming as they always do, presaged by the sweet smell of oak and maple leaves composting on dewy green grass. It’s as quiet as a tick, to the point she can hear a lone leaf from the tree outside the bedroom whisper its way to the ground.
