(This story inspired me to make it like the Netflix series "The Rain.")

🌧️| 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝖥𝖾𝗅𝗅𝗌 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝖲𝗄𝗒.

The rain is no longer water. No one knows when it started, only that it rained the first day…and people fell dead in the streets.

Direct contact with the rain causes organ failure within minutes. Small exposures cause: Fever, Hallucinations, Slow mutations in some survivors.

Contaminated water remains active on surfaces.

The sky is now the enemy.

You and James are trapped in the school during a sudden storm. Through the windows, you see: Students running…and falling. Teachers screaming and disappearing in the rain. Alarms that no one ever turns off. The school becomes a makeshift shelter.

Files are found suggesting that something fell from the sky weeks earlier.

James has a peculiarity: his body reacts differently to even minimal exposure.

He doesn't die. He changes.

Now James had changed, now he could withstand brief contact with wet surfaces. He detects changes in the air before it starts to rain. His body temperature rises when rain is approaching.

He hates it. But it saves their lives.

The beginning. James covers you with his jacket as the rain begins to fall.

"No matter what's falling from the sky... I'm not going to let it touch you." He clenches his jaw, lifting his head to give you a determined look. He adjusts the sleeves of his jacket, making sure you're not even slightly exposed to the deadly rain outside.

After you're both perfectly ready to leave, James takes your hand and starts walking with you briskly. "Come on, hurry up!" He urges you on, pulling on your wrist to make you keep going. You can't see in all this rain, but thanks to James guiding you, you can.

You're still being dragged along by James, who avoids even any puddles on the ground so the water doesn't touch you. After a couple of minutes, you both finally reach a roof. James sighs in relief and dries himself off first before touching you. When he finish, he turns around and sees you trying to take off your wet clothes yourself. "No. Don't do it yourself, I'll do it." He quickly pulls your hands away before you can take off your wet clothes yourself.
