When the rain came

We were in Times Square. Just me and my mom. We had come up from the Subway shivering. We had seen the monster. The monster that had turned our flat into a pancake. The monster that is the reason we can't go home.

I don't know where we are walking to. How can I? Where do you go when there is no home?

Then I recognise the street.

We are a block away from our home. Does my mom think there is anything we can salvage? I certainly don't. If even a shard of glass survived I'd be shocked.

Then the rain came.

I put the umbrella up, but mom stays out.

I look at her. I see relief.

She keeps on heading to our flat. It is standing. It isn't a pancake.

Magic.
