Rain began to patter on the path slowly before turning into a heavy pour. The village of Flora had a warm, humid climate and it rained about two to three times per month. Alicia sat on the windowsill next to her front door, watching the storm begin. Droplets of water crowded on the outside of the glass which blurred the vision of the outdoors. Thunder clapped off in the distance and the bushes swayed in the wind. A cable television show bumbled in the background, and Alicia’s older sister was cooking in their kitchen. The frying pan sizzled and the scent of seasonings and herbs filled the room. There was something strange about this village. Everyone knew each other. It was mostly quiet. Alicia’s residence was just her sister, grandmother, and herself. Her grandmother told endless stories about life after death, and what happens to you. Neighbors thought that the elderly woman was strange- she believed that she could speak to nature. A car zoomed by, rolling through a large puddle on the side of the road which caused a big splash. Alicia knew that in the morning, her yard would likely be flooded. Alicia’s inner thoughts were disturbed by the sound of a voice. “Dear, would you mind getting the mail and newspaper?” the Grandmother spoke up as she sat in her reclined lounge chair. “I’m cooking! Alicia can do it!” Lauren, the older sister called out. Alicia scoffed and stood up from her comfortable ledge. Her eyes darted to the shoe and coat rack, where she would see her purple rain boots and a black windbreaker jacket. A slender bucket next to it contained a few assorted umbrellas. Sigh. “Sure, I’ll do it.” Alicia replied and shuffled to the racks. She slipped on the rubbery boots and slid her arms into the jacket, zipped it up and pulled the hood over her head. She knew she was about to become drenched, but it should be temporary. “Thank you.” Grandma smiled and sipped from her mug, and put it gently back onto the wooden table in front of her. Alicia re

versed the silver lock on their front door and pushed open the heavy screen and stepped outside. A burst of warm wind greeted her face and she walked down the three steps to reach the driveway. She stood and watched the rain for a brief moment. As she looked for the newspaper, it was covered in a plastic bag to protect from the weather but there was something blurry and orange next to it. @JackWhite

Richard swayed slightly as he stood, his breathing heavy his cheek bruised and his knuckles sore. His muscles were tense as he stood watching his opponent stumble off to lick his own wounds clearly dazed. It was a regular thing for a while, where he lived wasn’t all that nice and one of the common characters was the man, they had dubbed Smithers. He liked to take stuff, what he wasn’t sure but he was pretty certain that it ranged. Probably just whatever he could get his hands on. He knew that he had seen the man around his father so there was no question of whether or not he was taking stuff. But when he was high, he usually tended to forget the fact that he couldn’t fight to start them. Really, he should have seen it coming but as he was walking Richard had made the mistake of relaxing since he was pretty far from home already. It was how Smithers managed to get that one swing in. Luckily the man really couldn’t fight, it only really hurt as much as it did because he was caught off guard and after sending a punch into the man's stomach and jaw, he manged to get the man to run off. The rain hitting his body was ignored his hood pulled up over his head to cover the bruised cheek and to protect his head from the cold as he continued to walk. He liked to walk, he liked to be outside. He didn’t like being at home so during his free time before he had to sleep, he tended to walk. It started off with quick walks around his home. But then as he was reminded how nasty his area was so he liked to get out of there. He'd walk until he was away from his shitty neighbourhood and then he would keep walking. He was drenched as he walked the sounds of thunder filling his ears as he shivered walking through a nicer area as he looked around knowing that he should find shelter. @Deleted User

Alicia squinted through the downpour of rain. The same orange blob was just sitting there. Maybe glasses were necessary. It didn’t move. She stepped out and pulled the hood of her raincoat up over her head and stepped into a puddle that splashed. She quickly realized that the orange figure at the end of the long driveway was, in fact, a cat. Her footsteps pounded on the concrete as she ran toward it. The small animal was soaked and sitting in the road, presumably stunned. Alicia scooped it up into her arms and begun to examine it. The beady little eyes on the cat were half open. It seemed healthy, just lost. And drenched. “Poor little guy.. let me get you in where it’s dry.” She mumbled to the cat and turned her gaze toward the ground to search for that newspaper. Raindrops pattered against her jacket and she tried her best to shield the animal from getting more soaked. She spotted the plastic bag-covered paper and reached down to retrieve it. A white LED flash shone in front of her eyes and a loud horn sounded. Alicia fumbled and seemed to freeze in her tracks. A stranger was down the way so without thinking twice she grabbed his arm, placed the cat in his grasp and pushed them out of the way. Thunk. Bump. There was darkness. Stillness. The sound of the storm ceased. It was almost as if she tried to think but couldn’t figure out how. @JackWhite

Dove really should have brought a coat, his thin hoodie did nothing to protect him from the water becoming drenched quicker than fish in water making him start to shiver as the cold bit into him. It wasn’t that cold out but when you were soaked and home was almost two hours away you had to worry about warmth more. While he had a couple friends that he could stay with they were about as far away from him as his home was and he didn’t really think that he would be able to get any woman to take him home with them when he was this drenched. Not that he was really in the mood to fuck anyone right now anyway. Well maybe if they were hot enough, he would get with them without a complaint. His attentions were drawn to the sound of a horn going off followed by the sound of something heavy slamming into something much lighter. He turned to face the source of the noise just in time to see a woman hit the ground her body unmoving. Before he even thought to stop himself, he was running to her. His hands going to her body to feel a pulse and when he couldn’t find any, he cursed his hand quickly going to her chest to push up and down trying to restart her heart. It was the only thing he knew how to do.’ “Come on lady wake up.” He told her urgently before he leaned forward pressing his lips against hers to try and give her some of his air. @Deleted User

There was nothing to Alicia anymore. The thoughts inside her head panicked as if she were choking but her body remained still. Help! Please help me! She tried to scream but nothing left her mouth. A crushing feeling hit her chest but it stopped moving. There was no more air in her lungs to let go of. A silent red flash flickered in front of Alicia’s eyes and she could hear the stranger panic as her life slipped away. ‘You’re here.’ A man’s booming voice echoed. It sounded as if it were far away. ‘I- yes, I’m here. Where am I?’ Alicia swung her arm through the air and couldn’t feel a thing. There was nothing around her that she could see but the air was damp. It smelled of rainfall. If she could see, she would notice the puddles of water on the hard concrete ground. ‘We weren’t expecting you so soon, Alicia.’ The anonymous voice replied. He sounded elderly but confident. Loud. It was unsettling. ‘Just tell me what’s happening! I think I just died!’ Alicia shrieked. The echo bounced off the walls that she couldn’t see and her overreaction caused the entity to chuckle. ‘My name is Aries. You’re here because you’re dead. My job is to allow you to give yourself a second chance if you wish. You have to complete the acts of good that I tell you to. If you fail you will be stuck in this limbo forever. If you succeed, you can be earthside once again.’ Alicia tried to swallow but she couldn’t. She couldn’t feel anything, actually. Her body felt like air. She awaited for the stranger to give her tasks. @JackWhite

When he reached the woman lying on the ground, he was quick to kneel down with a worried frown as he saw her still body. Not even thinking about checking her heart rate he entered panic mode as he kneeled down in front of her. He acted quickly without even thinking, not knowing what to do he only knew to push down on the chest and use mouth to mouth. His hands quickly going to her chest. For a moment he paused feeling odd about having his hands near her breasts it felt a little weird. Her chest unmoving was enough to bring him out of his thoughts as he leaned forward linking his fingers together before he pushed on her chest with his arms pushing down until he heard a slight clicking sound before he pulled his hands back and pushed again trying to save her life. He had no idea what was going on with her, not knowing that she was already gone as he pushed up and down on her chest trying to save her life before he leaned forward using his hands to tilt her head back opening her mouth lightly before he pressed his lips against hers breathing his air into her mouth before he went back to pushing up and down on her chest. There was nothing to Alicia anymore. The thoughts inside her head panicked as if she were choking but her body remained still. Help! Please help me! She tried to scream but nothing left her mouth. A crushing feeling hit her chest but it stopped moving. There was no more air in her lungs to let go of. @Deleted User
