Lady of Autumn
When I first read through this thread, I was reminded of a scene in an early episode of Red Dwarf, where Lister told everyone the story about the shoe. "It turns out shoes have soles." (phonetically "souls")
Still, I'll have a go myself:
Born into a large, closely connected family, the young leaf flourished. At the start of its life, the leaf was given everything it needed from the tree roots, deep within the earth. In the Spring, the birds nested amongst the leaf and its siblings, in the tree that was home to them both, amongst others, whilst in the Summer, the leaf enjoyed the rays of the sun. It was an unusually hot Summer, though, and soon the leaf began to become parched. It thirsted for water, but none came, as the tree that was its home kept the water for itself.
Autumn came, and although some rain came with it, the tree did not provide any to the leaves. It was too interested in keeping itself healthy in the cold months to come, and the leaf was left to dry out completely. Eventually, the leaf had no more energy to hold onto the branch, and it fell to the ground below, along with countless of its siblings. The leaf, all uncaring, only moved when the Winter winds moved in, and it did not protest when the snows came. It simply broke down, and returned to the earth.
