I sat on the bench with my umbrella out, waiting.
I sat still.
Perfectly still.
I waited.
I toiled through the dull moments that populated the landscape
and I waited. And then it came.
I heard a little "pat" on the umbrella. Then a "pit"
Then more. Heaven's tears flooded down from the sky in a massive torrent and flooded the streets. People ran through confused. Soon it was just me. And the fog. And the rain.
I wandered through the empty streets in the ankle-deep water and laughed merrily as i kicked it about with no one to notice. Suddenly, I heard a noise at the back of me. I spun around just in time to glimpse a glimmer of something forgotten. I shivered a little, and not from cold. Something in the back of my mind was clawing it's way to the front, or trying. I tried to remember exactly what I had seen but...... I couldn't remember anything. I shrugged a little with a frightened frown on my face and i sploshed through the streets once more. A noise again. Then, one not so familiar. "I know what you are." Said a voice that seemed to come from no particular direction. I turned in every direction only to see nothing.
I heard no more from the voice. I hurriedly ran through the streets with difficulty as the water was climbing higher on my frame. I tried to ignore that clawing of something in the back of my mind and convinced myself that running was more important right now. I ran. In the fog. And the rain. I recognized myself as being only one block away from my destination now. A voice called out again. This time from behind me. "Don't turn around. Don't scream." I felt something hard and cold press against the back of my neck. Tears mixed with rain as I started to remember. "You're going to come with me now. And you're go-" He never got to finish that sentence. I didn't bother turning around for I knew what I would see there would be just another body lying in a pool of water with his neck broken and his skull cracked.

The main character broke their neck without turning around
Thats what I got anyway. Either that or like a guardian goes and protects the main character which would be really cool. Anyway I like the style of your writing, it seemed very poetic.

Amazing, as always!! I especially love this story and the picture you put in it!! you're so talented with writing I absolutely love it! If you published your books and poems and stuff, I'd totally buy them! Thing i like about your writing is, I just read like a whole-page story but it felt like just a paragraph, because you get so caught up in the story that it flies by so quick and i love it!
Is there a part two, or is that how it ends?
If there isn't a part two then that's good in a way becaue it's like one of those stories that you'll never know what happened, and then you think, "Dun, dun, dun.."
Or! If there was a sequal then you'd be like wooooooohhh can't wait!!!
Either way, it's still absolutely amazing!
