He snapped. Marcel raised an eyebrow but didn't push. He glanced up at the sky, now darkening with heavy clouds. "Looks like rain. I'll drive." He said quietly. Ethan followed Marcel's gaze. His eyes lingered on the stormy sky, and his hands trembled almost imperceptibly. Without a word, he handed over the keys and slid into the passenger seat. As soon as they got in, Marcel started the engine and drove off without a word. Ethan sat silently in the passenger seat, his hands trembling slightly in his lap. His eyes kept flicking to the darkening sky, silently pleading with the heavens to hold off the rain. Marcel noticed his unease, stole a glance at him, and tightened his grip on the wheel.

Can you hear me?” Elias' voice came in faintly. “Yeah, a little.” I wiped a hand across my eyes, the rain had started to pour.

The rain started around six in the evening. Sparkling raindrops were continually tapping against the glass pane, creating an entrancing and serene acoustic thrumming sound. Emma was alone in the living room, staring out the huge glass window that overlooked the garden. The view was exquisite. The sky looked darker and gloomier. Hypnotic even! The eerie silence, the swaying trees, and the raindrops hitting and dripping off the leaves before soaking into the ground could pull one into a trance.

Seattle mornings are shrouded in a light mist, with fine drizzle falling like a veil on the windowpane. The streets are not yet fully awake, and the occasional, slow, low foghorn from the distant harbor adds to the city's tranquility. It was in this tranquility that Catherine was awakened by a series of phone calls from Jessica. "Kate! You didn't even tell me you weren't going home for winter break? Don't you even consider me your best friend?"

He always carries paper and a short pencil in his trouser or jacket pocket whenever he goes anywhere, just like Sky who always has a paper clip, a small screwdriver, safety pins, black hairpins, and a small penknife in his pocket. Sky approached Rain. "Too bad you can't use your computer or phone to outsmart all the CCTV here, Rain," Sky said quietly. "In fact, we should be able to find a way out if you can hack the CCTV. I have recorded in my brain, the blind spots that allow us to walk without being seen by the CCTV."

I dug my fingers deeper until I touched her skin and she dropped to her knees. The sky darkened all of a sudden and tiny droplets of rain fell from the sky. “Come on, we actually have to catch me,” Earis's voice spoke inside my head. “I don't want you to hurt yourself,” I protested. “These woods haven't fully been accessed in years.”

Rain poured relentlessly, and I stared at my phone, irritated by Terence's last text. [I'm busy today. Can't be there with you. Head home and help me pick someone up at the service area.] I turned off the screen as memories of those rainy days flooded my mind.
