Rain


Dark and ominous rain clouds gathered together and formed a blanket over the earth. Intermittent sunlight filtered through, with dim rays flashing through. Trees shook and leaves rained down, with a little 'help' of the wind. A flash of radiant light split the skies into halves. following was distant thunder, like a train, rumbling furiously on the tracks. The first droplets were barely visible, but as more and more gathered up, it formed a pellucid curtain, making seeing almost unattainable, even when it was transparent.
Darren had came to the house and we planed to play basketball at around 6 plus. But looking at the weather, we decided not to. I had to send him to the school because of some reasons. By the time we reached the ground floor, it was pouring like there was a whole ocean in the heavens, 'trickling' down.
The wind was howling like a wolf and the roads were flooded, with leaf litters all swept away by the currents. The wind proved truly too strong for my umbrella and it started to flip inside out. The rain was just too 'energized' that people had to stay in the shelter outside the school to avoid getting wet. Even with the shelter and the umbrella, I was still drenched head to toe when I got home...
