Sitting in silence as the world passes me by...
Hear the winds rustle among the trees...
An old man clings to his papers, snug under his arm, a little tighter...
Clouds of grey start to hover over the horizon...
Little wisps of cool breeze dissipates the heat of the roaring sun...
Soon, little teardrops from heaven start to fall...
Slowly building up its intensity...
Across the street, children playing in care-free wonder start dismissing themselves home...
A teenage boy utters a swear-word, cursing the on-coming weather...
A mother clutches her child closer, opening an umbrella in anticipation...
A father hurriedly gets into his car, speeding off into the traffic of the evening...
A grandfather picks up his speed on the bicycle, trying to make it home before its too late...
Out on the balcony, drying clothes are quickly gathered into the house...
A young lady's face lights up in delight...
As her lover frowns in the prospect of getting wet...
Some of the village children start their rally...
Gathering more company for a swim in the big drains...
In the fields, the football match fights on...
Rain or shine, determination for victory untainted.
Gradually, the gentle drizzle turns into a heavy downpour...
Pedestrians scuttle into the shades taking cover...
Owh, the magnificiency of the human character...
One action. many reactions.
What would your choice be?
