Art Of Racing In The Rain Book Novels & Stories

Actual rain, the kind that hit the Black Ridge mountains in October like it had a personal grievance, heavy and sudden and completely indifferent to the fact that I had a solo track session scheduled for four PM that I'd been looking forward to all day. Coach cancelled everything at three fifty-five. Track closed, wet conditions, standard protocol. I was already in the garage in my suit when the notification came through and I stood there for a full minute just looking at the rain through the open garage door like looking at it harder would change what it was doing. It didn't change what it was doing. "Tragic," said a voice behind me. I turned around. Cece was leaning against the garage entr

Raine's POV The rain was still coming down in sheets, soaking through my clothes in seconds. I gunned it, weaving through the streets of New Orleans as though I was being chased. The speedometer climbed from forty to fifty. Then sixty to seventy. I leaned into the turns, felt the bike skid slightly on the wet pavement, and pushed it harder. The rain stung my face, but it felt good and real. This was what I needed to forget the mess that was my life.

I remember because my umbrella broke, and I ran into the nearest café dripping wet and furious. He was there sitting at the corner table, tapping on his laptop, sipping black coffee. He looked up, smiled, and offered me his extra napkin. “You look like you fought the rain and lost,” he said, his voice deep and calm. I laughed, embarrassed. “I think the rain won this round.” That was how it started. He wasn’t rich. In fact, he was struggling. He told me about his dreams… how he wanted to start a tech firm, how he just needed one good break.

Chapter Twelve The rain had been relentless all Friday. Sheets of water fell from the sky, drumming against windows and rooftops, as if the heavens themselves were mourning or warning. Nora sat in the art studio, trying desperately to focus on her presentation, but her brush hovered uselessly over the canvas. The colours and lines felt meaningless. Every stroke of paint blurred, smudged by the storm of emotions inside her.

Without a second’s hesitation, I grabbed the car keys off the table and bolted for the door. "Get in the car!" I wrenched the door open, yelling at the man still staring at his phone in shock. "Let’s do this!" He roared, charging into the rain like a cornered leopard, yanking open the passenger door and diving in. "No! It’s too dangerous!" The Knight Art Foundation staff chased after the car, their clothes soaked through in seconds. "Miss Lisa, the rain’s too heavy! The roads are littered with landslides and falling rocks—it’s a death trap!"

I will do anything to never go back to that house. My eyes were starting to sting. I was so tired that I could almost cry right now. It was getting late too. I needed to pick up my pace. I began my race, running to no destination at all. It started raining, which was bad for me at this hour of the day because it would be very evident to everyone that I am an omega who is close to frustration. From my scent, and if they see me alone, that would warrant troubles I did not want to imagine.

So that cost kept growing. I took another sip from my bottle. “There is a training some Polynesian warriors do, where it consists of running for long distance in waist-deep water. The resistance of the sea makes it really hard. It’s nigh impossible to run fast this way, but by putting such a damper on their abilities in their everyday training, when they finally get out of the water, they haul ass.

Zheira tapped the window of their red Ferrari and gaped at the racing raindrops. It’s been over an hour since they hit the road. She kind of missed the comfort of her bed, but instead of drowning in her emotions, she contented herself by staring at the dull line-up of trees in the corner of the lane.

Only then, things were different here. After the rain, the tiled asphalt glistened, holding the weariness of the rain. And with every movement of the carriage wheels, every stone on the ground trembled, heading toward the people. First a shudder in the little stones, and then a thunder that made everyone shudder. Lifting their heads up, people angrily opened their umbrellas and moved on. The rain wanted to start dripping, but seeing that everyone was on standby, it moved aside. And as people relaxed and forgot about the bad weather, the rain abruptly began to fall, catching everyone in its embrace. With each quickening step, the rain got heavier and heavier. It was a game where people were c
