Run in the Rain

The Idea:

Run in the Rain. The picture is not exactly what I had in mind, but close. I'm not sure how I got in the idea. I just wanted to write a story that begins with "I run in the rain". I didn't expect what the story would be. But it turned out okay...

The Story:

I run in the rain to get there. I never thought that it will be such a long way. All I know I have to get there.
I forgot where I came from, all I can remember is running in the rain. My shoes filled with water. Yes, I'm soak. I look up. The rain doesn't seem like it will be over soon, and it's still a long way to go. 

I run in the rain to be there. I'm finally able to recognize where I am now. I remember this road. I've been here before, and I don't like it. The thunder can be heard like it's getting closer, so I run faster. But why it feels like I run in place? Why the destination seems get pulled away from me? When will I get there? 

I run in the rain with pain in my head. The blood is mixed with the rain, and run down on my face. I wipe it out over and over again, but it always coming back. Oh, the tree! I finally reached the tree where I used to play when I was young! It's not far now. My house is just around the corner. I'll get there, soon.

I run in the rain with tears falling from my eyes. But no one will ever can tell. I get here to get help. I run all the way from my wreck car, so I can get rest and saved. But what I see is the flame. The flame from the house, my house.... So ironic that the downpour can't saved it. the thunder started it, and the rain can't stop it. 

I don't run in the rain anymore. 
I stand still watching my house gets burnt down. 
I stand still feeling the blood drops to my eyes. 
I stand still as my feet lose its strength, and drop my body to the ground.

I want to run in the rain.
I should run in the rain.
I wish I could run in the rain to see any dry ground. 
It must felt better than this damp ground I lay in. 
But I can't move. The fire from my house can't bring warm to me. 
Then, I can't feel anything anymore....
 I close my eyes. And I see it. The long road. The rain. And I know, I have to start running....
