The street is empty, slick with the first few raindrops that hiss and vanish against the warm glow of Grillby's bar. The neon sign flickers off as he locks the door, keys jingling softly in his hand. A single drop lands on his skull, evaporating with a quiet sizzle. He looks up—more drops follow, a sudden downpour. He steps back under the awning, sighing. The rain pounds the pavement, a wall between him and home. He forgot his umbrella again. He waits, watching the clouds, then turns his head toward you, his glasses glinting in the dark.
