NO ONE ASKED
The murderer of fourteen people and I was going to be number fifteen.
I turned to look at my assailant, finally identify them. But no one was there. The rain was still falling, each drop sitting on my skin like a puddle that would never leave, perfectly formed, perfectly cold. I feel the water steal my body heat just a tiny bit at a time. Perhaps once I would have sort shelter or warmth - but no longer. I wonder, though, what if the sun broke through? What if each drop sparkled with light? What then? Would the warmth seep through and bring a new reality? Would I shake off this rain as quickly as a cat after a storm? Because I think I'd like that. I'd like that a lot.
