I’ve been ill for a wee while – sorry for being away!
http://rochellewisofffields.wordpress.com/ Has delivered, as usual, as great photo prompt!
The heat hit first, percussive: intense.
Then: the rain. Gray, greasy rain, thick and congealing, it cascaded from the skies and carpeted the floor, insinuating itself into every nook and cranny in the same way it eroded hope from people’s hearts. Rain like that wasn’t natural. How could it be? Why was it here?
It was no more than a rupture in the sky, a split, such as would be found on the skin of fruit or a child’s knee, but the tear brought more than tears for those who knew what it portended, and shudders for those who didn’t…

Oohhh I am intrigued.
So am I! It started so innocently in my head, and then cascaded further – guess it must be the time off I’ve had collecting my subconscious thoughts into a strange bundle!!
So intriguing, now I want to know more.
I am tempted to take this one further somehow…
Get well soon and very interesting story…more next week I hope?
Nice descriptions and very imaginative, you’ve got me thinking.
That’s kind of you to say! I hope it’s nothing to horrific!
Too horrific!!
Kingsley, Welcome back and I hope you’re completely well soon. Good story. This was very mysterious. It sounds like an accumulation of pollution or some alien tactic. It would be a great beginning for a longer story. Well written. 🙂 —Susan
I thought I had put a smiley face there before my name, but it seems to have disappeared so here’s another one. 🙂 —Susan
Well it decided to show up after all. 😀 —Susan
Every smile,
every time,
always worthwhile,
Please forgive my rhyme!
😀
Hope you’re feeling better
Judgment indeed. Greasy rain. Ruptures. Splits. Great words to describe what is coming.
Thank you. I might try to develop this a little further…
Dear Kingsley,
Sorry you’ve been ill. Welcome back.
Ominous rain that.
shalom,
Rochelle
