Prompt Club - Drops of Rain [short story]

Hello you lovely human! This is my week 2 entry for the prompt club. (The prompt I chose will be underlined below.) Hope you enjoy, though it may seem a bit rushed :]

It rains often. You could hear the droplets of fallen water collide with the mud below. The rain grows more powerful, more dense, until finally and suddenly, it stops.

The last thing I seeing, was your caramel tinted face. How your unruly hair would curl around the small frame of your navy blue colored glasses. It was speckled with hints of gold, though you could only notice that miniscule detail in the bright Arizona sunlight.

So how did I end up here? Frozen like a statue, standing still in the raging storm. Tiny puddles growing quickly into bottemless lakes. Swallowing every inch of my body. First, starting with my badly bruised and aching feet. Now I'm neck deep and it's getting difficult to breathe. How did I get here? Why haven't I moved an inch? I could swim away, float, and forget of how my limbs began to shiver, turning a sickly shade of blue.. Just like your glasses.

Wait, why can't I forget your glasses?

It seems as though I can't recall anything, except your damned sun glistening frames! Cursing my legs to tremble beneath the unforgiving waves, knocking my head around. I have no idea where on earth I stand, but I can your favorite song like it was my own. The bone-chilling sensation of hypothermia setting in as some Tom Petty song weaves in and out of my ears. Delicately.

It's almost as if who I am is only just you. Your essence has consumed every part of me. And as the water travels down into my lungs, I realize. It isn't rain gushing towards my bloodstream, it's actually your suffocating love.

Thank you for reading!

Have a wonderful day/night!

Stay safe ~
