All Saints, All Skate
All the saints arrive at the skating rink, which is not yet a skating rink because it’s November 1 and it’s not cold enough yet to skate.
The saints feel a bit stupid about this so someone suggests they go to a movie instead.
A movie about skating? One saint asks.
Sure, the rest of the saints say.
The saints, clad in black, red, blue and green see a wonderful movie about skating and snow and skiing. They eat popcorn and Junior Mints, sip Coke and slushees.
After the movie the saints emerge into the late fall twilight and take in the cool air while admiring the leaves – the falling and the fallen and the still hanging on – and then they say their goodbyes and all the saints spread out in different directions across the city, melting into the world once again. --TK
