SIGHTLESS OBSESSION
Seraphina Vellaro – POV
The rain was a language.
It spoke in morse code on the slate roof, a frantic, tapping rhythm. It wept down the windowpane in long, shuddering sighs. It drummed against the earth, a low, persistent pulse that masked other, smaller sounds. On nights like this, the world was reduced to water and noise, and I was its sole translator.
It was the only thing that kept me sane.
I sat on the floor, my back against the wall, listening. My body was a mosaic of fresh and fading pains. Each breath was a careful negotiation with my bruised ribs. But the rain was a distraction, a symphony that demanded my full attention.
