I'm not sure when it started, but it's been going on for a few weeks now. I first noticed it one night after I had gone to sleep. A strange noise woke me up. I looked up groggily from my pillow, fumbling around for the light switch. Suddenly something blew into my face. Confused, I tried to brush it away. It kept fluttering around my head, like some strange moth. I was swinging my arms crazily about, trying to get it off my face, when I fell out of bed. The lights quickly snapped on, for some strange reason. I was looking up at the time, and the bright light blinded me for a moment. I was dazed, blinded, and confused. That thing was lying on the floor. I grabbed it, but I had to wait a few seconds until my eyes adjusted to the light. When I finally could see, I saw that I was holding a leaf in my hand. The thing fluttering around my face was a leaf. Being half-asleep, I couldn't figure out how a leaf would fly around my head like an insect. But in the middle of the night, I didn't care, so I went back to sleep.
Later the next day I was walking home from school. I sort of strolled along, kicking the bright autumn leaves lying on the ground. As I walked, a low sort of growling sound became audible. Suddenly the wind picked up fast, to my face. A wall of wind-blown leaves engulfed me. I covered my face with my arms, and as the leaves flew past me, a louder growl surrounded me.
