The rain came down endlessly, pounding on the rooftops and beating the sidewalks and roads before turning into vast lakes of dull, muddy water. Dark clouds covered the sky, concealing the sun behind their black visage. The monotony of the rain combined with the fearsome tearing of the wind through the trees. Everything was bleak and dreary - even the people. They dressed in heavy coats and bore matte umbrellas that blended in with the darkness of the world. They walked quickly, not stopping to look at anything or anyone, intent only on accomplishing their own selfish goals. But one boy was looking. He looked up to the crying heavens, and saw the flickering light in a topmost window of an apartment building, where a little girl about his age sat by the window, watching the people.
