[ WP ] `` It 's just the rain ''

The tainted monochrome air permeated through my haggard breath while I paused second after second, bringing with it a rapid slew of images I could not understand. Crowds passed by me while I stood immobile, captivated by their lives, completely oblivious to mine. A distorted image bounced around the growing puddle beneath my feet, as the floor crackled with thundering footsteps, and the sound of a hundred needles dropping all at once. I had to keep calm. I had to keep calm. I had to keep... 
 
 Suddenly I found myself displaced in the middle of it all. Thoughts started whirring around my head. 
 
 Was I ever really here? 
 
 Who are they? 
 
 What am I doing here? 
 
 My shadow continued to stare back at me, puzzled at the source of the distortion all around. A voice echoed through my ears, disembodied from the source. It took a few moments for me to process the origin of all those silent whispers saying: 
 
 `` It's just the rain. It's only just the rain.''
