As the Rain Falls

           There comes a time in every person’s life when they have to face pure terror, loss, or even pain with every fiber of their being. That’s exactly what happened to me, although I would never trade what lessons I have learned, for it does not show weakness when a hardship tears you down, but shows how strong you truly are when you get back up.

            On a dark and bitter morning, a single shot rang out across the ally way in a small town in Tokyo. Zoe shrieked in fear, as her lifeless body collided with the icy cobblestone ground. Her body numb with pain as she lay in a swelling pool of her own blood. As her vision blurred with her tears and rain, she gazed one last glimpse at her murder, the man she once loved.

       The next morning I awoke to find myself surrounded by white walls that seemed to continue on as if it were to never end. I soon realized I was stranded in a hospital room, but who was the man clinging to my hand? I stared at the man then suddenly I realized there was something strangely familiar about him. As I continued to look for clues as to who he was, I spotted a tattoo that was hidden on the inside of his forearm.  My  whole body froze with terror. The man turned to look at me and said in a venomous voice "Welcome back sweetheart, we have some unfinished business to attend to."
