Keith was dripping the windshield wipers going back and forth back with speed. It almost didn't make a difference. 
The guy that picked him up was speeding a little breaking fast. But Keith trusted him handled the car well. He was vaping almost every time he ended a sentence. 

"Its...

The  rain pelted the asphalt and concrete. Keith tilted his head down, symbolically keeping himself dry. When the rain was lighter, tilting your head down could at least keep the rain out of your eyes and your face. Today it was meaningless.

Cars whizzed by. Sometimes they splashed water all over...

He drank the coffee after his meal. It reminded him of the  Spacecity machine. Almost too perfect, like she knew how he liked it. The cappuccino he ordered was frothed and he dumped one sugar in.
Sipped it. Perfect.

He wanted to tell her, tell her how it made him...

"I can't come in today."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm feeling... unwell."

The man in the expensive suit hung up. No breath would be wasted on pointless chatter. If his main influencer was taking a  sick day then his entire day was awash.

People couldn't stop talking about the  rain . They couldn't remember the last time it had rained this much. Not that it had rained everyday. But that it had rained every week. Was it ever like that before? Rain at least once a week? Hop Tsing thought about this as...

"Yesterday, and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know, been that way for all my time "

The kids looked at...

On a  Tuesday afternoon, Ray walked the sidewalk west under the  overcast sky. It looked like it would  rain soon, but this didn't deter people from being out and about. Or maybe that was why there was no shortage of people on the street? Because they were trying to arrive...

When he got out to the street, he realized the party was over. His car was one of the only one there.

As he walked to it, he could hear the other group leaving in the distance, walking off, their voices trailing into the air.

The air was a sheet of  mist...

The  rain had come suddenly. Sammy had not checked the weather this morning. It had seemed like one of those days where the weather was going to stay put the entire time.

She didn't mind the rain. Her car was built to handle wet roads and she felt safe inside of...

Near the horizon
rain hits ground
in bed it sounds like battered vegetables
frying in a skillet .

Last summer when my mom told me
on a rainy day
that the rain instills in her a craving of buchimgae

I listened and for the...
