[ IP ] Rainy Night

Her head was foggy with the beginnings of the mists of sleep. Looking up from her book, Odessa shifted her gaze to the scenic nature scene outside. However, the drops of rain did nothing to relieve the strain from her red eyes. 
 
 A deep sigh led her to follow the path of a raindrop on her window pane as it consumed more drops in its path. 
 
 Just then, from the corner of her eye, she saw green drops falling from the tree as if the color was draining out of this painting. Concentrating on it did not bring back the comfort of reality though, but only served to heighten the bizarre and beautiful anomaly unfolding. 
 
 Her backyard was melting away, as if the drops of rain served only to wash away the gloom. The dark seemed yo seep away still, bleeding away its gray tones. On the ground gathered gathered clumps of color like a palette. And the sky was a canvas. 
 
 `` Woah,'' she said as the colors began to come alive before her eyes. With a life of its own, the trees and grass melted away, transforming into little brown specks. Pieces of the sky cracked and fell, letting in the warmth of the sun. In the distance, raindrops accumulated into a steady body that began to move with the gentle breeze. 
 
 The rain stopped and the beach lay before her framed in the kaleidoscopic lenses of a thousand peaceful raindrops.
