The rain was pouring cats and dogs walking in this weather is crazy i thought to myself as i walked down the poorly lit street, the odd car driving down the road but most knew better than to be out driving during a storm like this.

But i just wanted to feel the rain feel anything. Continuing on walking the streets i see a little kid crying as i walk upto him trying to put a hand on his shoulder i realize he cant see me, he cant feel me, I'm nothing. I ran down the street in the middle of the road towards some flashing lights a few blocks ahead.

Each step i took got heavier as if i was filling with the rain like a well or a barrel. My heart skipped a beat or at least i thought it did when i saw myself half through a windshield my head full of glass, my body torn almost apart. It all went black.

I forget everything and I'm back on the street where i began. Wanting to feel the rain, wanting to feel anything.

Running towards the lights flashing each step getting heavier like I'm filling with the rain's water.

Seeing the car and my head full of glass my body torn almost apart.

The faint beeping of a monitor steady like a hearts beat.

I think my lungs are starting to fill up

Everything goes black.
I forget everything and I'm back where i began.

Wanting to feel the rain.
Wanting to feel anything.

Running towards the flashing lights.

Each step feels more and more impossible and like its getting hard to breath

As if I'm filling with rain water.

Seeing the car my body torn my head filled with glass.

Everything goes black.

The monitor emits a continuing tone as the beeping ends.

And I'm back where i began.
