I have recently stumbled upon a website, Velvet Verbosity. This is a blog centered around a writing exercise where a word is posted each week and if you want to participate, you must write 100 words (no more, no less) using that word for inspiration. I think its a fantastic idea, so it will be a mild intermission from my normal posts.
Without further ado, here are my 100 words on Rain.
After the exam finished, we stared out into the pouring rain, utterly drained. It was a long walk home with no umbrella between us. We began laughing hysterically at how terribly the day had gone overall and decided it ended here. Giant puddles plagued our campus, so we ran, jumped, splashed, and giggled. Strangers joined in and soon a huge crowd of physics students was dancing in the rain for the pure joy of mindless happiness. Secret smiles were exchanged, a display of a shared experience. My jeans turned sticky, my shoes soaked, and my demeanor had never been better.
