The end of rainy season for the rainy northwest. Nowadays -- in fact, every day, every year the weather seemed to be getting worse. 10, 15 years ago the sun would be shining pure and naked through the heavens in this time of year, with sweet-smelling blossoms painting the land with bright, impressionistic hues. But now, the green grew black as floods started to kill the indigenous life.
Today was not going to be a good day. At least, not for those caught out in the rain or relegated to the lowest levels of society - water flows downward, after all.
A youth dressed primarily in reds stepped out of a vehicle that pulled into the neighborhood up in the hills. After blowing a kiss, the car drove off, heading up and away from the storm imposing itself over the cityscape far in the background.
«So... what now?»
It didn't take long for her - or at least it appeared as such - to get completely soaked, and thoroughly so. The soft-faced youth stretched, squeezing just a drop of the torrential downpour from the long, thin cotton hoody she was wearing. Beneath the figure almost appeared to be nothing save some striped socks that ran up to her thigh, or at least it appeared that way due to the hoody.
The figure walked. The neighborhood seemed almost upper class, all in all. Political posters had fallen away, children's toys were filling with water, all the lawns were green and well trimmed albeit flooded. It wasn't hostile by any means, but for what it was, it struck the figure that none of these people ever lived like she, or still perhaps he, did.
«That should work. It even smells right.»
The figure marched himself up to the door of one of the neighbors. The house come upon almost looked abandoned; the lights were off, the windows were blocked so one couldn't see in. The lawn even was a little more unkempt than the others in the neighborhood. Perhaps the home of a lazy bachelor, perhaps the home of someone who lost electricity with the storm.
Standing underneath the porch, the figure knocked on the door, standing idly by as if she were waiting for a friend to get up and answer.
