On this rainy Thursday night I venture out into the brisk, damp air of an early fall rainstorm. The sky is a dirty brown due to the recently set sun and the black sky laying down upon the Earth. So I walk...

The moon is out there somewhere, but nothing can be seen through the thick, murky rainclouds that cover the vast sky. So I walk...

The shiny puddles beneath my feet reflect back at me as I walk through them, careful to not get splashed. But nonetheless, as soon as I lift my foot, the muddy droplets spring back up and soak the back of my jeans. So I walk...

Crabapples and bush berries roll on the pavement as I walk past them. I remember collecting the same fruit many years before and tricking my younger sister into eating the bitter apples for a snack. The sour, tangy, distinct taste could dry out your mouth for hours. So I walk...

I look back at my cul-de-saq and see the familiar grooves of old cement fill up with water to create the puddles I once played in. I am reminded of the many memories I made on this street. So I walk...
