After rain comes sunshine they said, I guess they were right. I never really believed in that saying, all I ever got was rain, until I met my sunshine. Or was that all just a lie too?

I had hoped I'd die of old age on my death bed, with my loved ones by my side and a life lived to the fullest. Not alone on a cold road with my life barely started. I haven't even got the chance to live yet.

I keep looking up at the grey clouded sky, a raindrop lands right on my arm, I hiss.

There must be an open wound or something.

I don't want to look, I hate blood. Nevertheless I couldn't even if I wanted to.

My neck feels stiff and I feel paralyzed. Like I can't move or talk all I can do is feel pain.

I want it to stop, I need it to stop.

Raindrops start falling everywhere. I feel the cold water touching my skin through my clothes. It rains over my whole body, I must be soaked.

It falls on my face and stings in my eyes. I want to close them but I can't.

The rain starts to fill my eyes until everything is blurry and I can barely see.

Suddenly everything goes completely and utterly black and even the pain fates away.

.....

"Heartbeat is steady, breathing too."

I open my eyes, the bright light immediately blinding me. I squint them shut again.
