Word Prompt – #Vista

Vista, a pleasing view of autumn. It is my favourite season because of all the colours it creates. The weather starts getting colder, but the leaves are more dazzling than before.

‘Beth . . . is it really you?’ His eyes, portholes to his true self, are wide open now. He shoves his sword away from his reach, as if he cannot bear to touch it any more.
