The Day When It Rained
The day when it rained
The sound of the rain tapping my rooftop woke me up. I looked outside the glass window blurred by rain droplets and the sky looked really gloomy. I sat up and yawned. It was 8 sharp. I stood up and dragged myself to the washroom. The reflection in the mirror made me giggled. My hair looked like as if I just got electrocuted. I turned on the tap and splashed the water on my face. The coldness of the water sent chill down my spine.
After I spent some time grooming myself, the next thing that popped up in my mind is food. I climbed down the stairs and headed to the dry kitchen. A striking yellow colour of note stuck on the refrigerator caught my attention. The wordings on the note went like this:
“Help yourself with some sushi and the pizza I bought last night. Remember to do the laundry. We are paying a visit to Aunt May whom just gave birth. Mum.”
“Great, they went out again.” I whispered to myself, feeling a little disappointed.
It was raining cats and dogs. The chilly wind that blew into made me shivered. I rushed to the windows and shut them. I went back to my kitchen and heated the pizza with the microwave. When the beep sounded, I sat on the chair and started munching.
I was enjoying my meal when the doorbell rang. My neck craned to see who it was. I got up immediately and dashed to my front door. A dark blue umbrella was seen. The heavy downpour blurred my vision and I had to squint. Hey, wait a minute. That’s Patrick. I opened the gate and Patrick rushed inside. He stood by the doorway, panting. Water could be seen dripping from his clothes.
“Come on in. I will get you a towel to dry yourself.” I said, in a rush.
Patrick smiled apologetically and entered. I went back to the kitchen to make Patrick a hot cup of tea. Doubts filled my mind. He appeared out of the blue and that perplexed me.
“I thought he was mad with me?” I questioned myself, feeling puzzled.
The hot cup of tea was served at that instance to Patrick. Patrick

    He turned on the hot water and balanced it out with some cold water and then undressed. He stepped into the shower and started to wash himself. The water was running down his face as if he was crying. He peered into the mirror through the glass pane on the shower door, it was him, trapped. He leant back and reached for the pink soap that was on the shower shelf, he was reaching left and right and couldn’t feel the soap, he turned around and it wasn’t there. He was confused because his Mum always had soap sitting on that shelf that was strange. She must have forgot again.…

    Whose Reality

    • 1383 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Its 9pm on a Sunday and I can feel the first of the rain as its droplets catch on my outstretched palms. There’s something very humbling about the rain. It’s one of nature’s great forces, and completely escapes our control. When the rain comes, it doesn’t account for petty human drama, politics and cultural divisions. I ponder this thought as I round the bend and turn down the next street. The rain is a reminder that above all else, we are at the whim of mother nature. Beyond our constructed realities and perception of modern society lies a force mar more powerful than humanity. This is a somewhat overwhelming thought, and instantly I long for togetherness and company, but I must remind myself that I am a stranger here. Through the windows of the houses lining this street, people go about their lives to the sound of the rain on their rooftops. Perhaps some of them are experiencing similar thoughts to my own? Raindrops slide down my forehead and drip from my brow onto my eyelids- the water blurs my vision. In this dreamlike state, I wander forwards, the lights around me shifting, darting and sliding in the darkness. At this bizarre moment in time I feel a sudden and uncontainable urge to peer through the windows of the houses that surround me, to catch an insight into the lives of these strangers. Through each window lies a different truth, and I am suddenly all too eager to explore these realities- lives that occur in spite of the rain.…

    The rain came down in a light pitter patter, as I sat on my porch swing with a steaming cup of tea clutched in my hands. A blanket was tucked around my body, preventing the cool air from giving me a chill. The rain washed the cars and houses as it poured down on everything in its path. The smell of the rain only being able to be described as satisfactory as the smell of clean linen sheets. The usually busy neighborhood, being as quiet as a mouse with the exception of the rumbles of the sky. I sat like this all morning, taking in the beauty before it was time for me to go inside and start my day.…

    Puddles rippled as the rain dropped down. Lights were flickering on and off and traffic was slower than it was supposed to be. Cars were honking and people yelling. Boom! A lightning bolt went, scattering the birds sitting on top of the power line. They flew around in circles, but they didn’t just fly in circles anywhere they flew right on top of a wide long alleyway. The alleyway was lit up by the uncovered moon, drip drop, was all you could hear as it hits the ground, but if someone were to listen carefully you could hear the little feet of rats skimpering and scampering around.…

    When I go down the never ending stairs, I went to the kitchen to get me a glass of orange juice—a glass fresh from our small city of Destin, Florida. I drank the entire glass in under a minute. (That was a personal record of mine that changes from time to time). When I got done drinking the orange juice, I went to Josie's room to see what I needed to pack. Once I reached the top of those darn stairs, I went in search…

    After the game was over we all basically went our separate ways for the night. I decided that the chips and pop and other snacks I had that night just wasn’t enough. So I decided to run to the local mom and pop joint up the road and get a large pizza on my way home. I picked it up and went back to my house and I could hardly wait to devour it. As my stomach growled and turn like it hadn’t had any food in ten years, I seemly gulped the hot delicious pizza down in one bite after another. The steam poured from the Pizza like a soma, then when down easy into my stomach. I was full after that. I went to bed that night with a feeling of satisfaction.…
