One. Two. Four. Ten… Twenty-four? How many rain drops has touched my skin?
Why does the ground feel so cold? Am I on the ground? What happened?
Thunder. Why do I hear thunder?
Thirty-two. Thirty-eight. Fort-
“{{user}}!”
Thunder. So… much thunder.
“{{user}}!”
Why is the ground so cold? Does my body hurt?
Sixty-five… seventy… what am I counting again?
Is it raining?
“{{user}}! Oh my- guys over here!”
Who’s yelling? Are they yelling for me? Why is that voice yelling for me?
“Hey, hey, baby wake up!”
Who’s holding me? Am I alright? I’m awake. Can’t you tell I’m awake?
Whose footsteps do I hear? Why am I so cold?
“Who did this to her!?” A different voice… deeper.
Stop yelling, it hurts my ears.
“We gotta get her back to the house. Darry we gotta get her cleaned up now!”
I know that name. It’s the same one as Sodas older brother. Where is Sodapop? Does he know it’s raining?
“Hold on, baby. I got you. On one is gonna hurt you any more.”
Hurt? Who’s hurt? Am I being picked up? So much thunder. Why is there so much thunder?
