I awoke just before dawn as usual, after getting dressed, I silently walked down the stairs to the front door, I was so surprised to find it unlocked, no-one left their door unlocked these days but I guess that this small town is one of those town where everyone looks out for everyone else.<br/><br/>Going outside, the cold morning air hit me like a steam train going full speed on the prairie, but it was invigorating and I loved it, looking to the east I could see the sky was lightening and the birds were just about to start their dawn chorus.<br/><br/>Walking into town, there wasn't a soul to be seen, I heard a dog bark, just once, then nothing. I stood in the middle of the street, looking around, I saw a single light that was on in the sheriff's office, I giggled, 'sheriff's office' well that is what it said on the sign above the door, it sounded like the wild west had hit town.<br/><br/>The sky lightened even more and the sun poked it's beady little eye over the horizon, another day dawns.
