Rain with a Chance of Sadness


The day started with the sound of pouring rain on the window. Annabeth clumsily made her way to her window, still half asleep she peered out of her window only to seen nothing. She squinted her eyes trying to get a better look at the world outside her apartment. Still, she couldn’t see a thing, it was raining too hard. This was one of the things Annabeth needed to get used too, the constant rain. She had just moved from the sunny place that was always filled with bright colors to a rainy town that was never any color but gray.

Annabeth turned the doorknob, it hit the tile floors with the loud clanging sound. Annabeth jumped and sighed under her breath. Every time she tried to leave her apartment, the doorknob fell off. She was mad at herself for still getting startled, she had been living here for two months now, she should be used to it. She hastily put the doorknob back into place and left her apartment. In the back of her head, she reminded herself to find the maintenance man, Victor Marx, to get her doorknob fixed.

Annabeth made her way to the parking deck, it wasn't the closest exit but she was still getting lost between the East and West buildings, she lived in the former. Checking her watch as she walked out of the building, she realized she was already late for work. She glanced up from the ground only for a moment. In doing so she was reminded of the tragic events that had only happen two days prior. All that was left was yellow crime scene tape flying along with the wind. She continued walking with her final destination just outside around the corner.

Before leaving the parking garage, she stuck her hand outside checking for rain. It was still raining, so she grabbed the umbrella that now lived in her purse and began her walk up Magnolia Drive. Turning on to Maple Lane, Annabeth caught herself almost walking into the dentist office that was right next to her work, Medical Aid Doctors Office. It wasn't her fault, the two offices were spitting images of each other. For the first week she lived her, Annabeth walked into the dentist office instead of Medical Aid Doctors Office, which all the residents call MADO.

As soon as Annabeth entered the office, she was hit with a wave of deja vu from two days earlier, the time they brought in the body of Mr. Evans.

Thoughts with a Chance of Anxiety

Annabeth was getting ready for bed when the sun went down and the snowstorm began. She knew as soon as the first few snowflakes began to fall that it was going to be a big storm. She had a feeling she wouldn’t be able to leave her apartment for a decent amount of time. Which was fine with her. She needed her time away from work, too much was going on. Having the autopsy file was proving to be too much responsibility for Annabeth. She thought about it obsessively. So much time had passed since Mr. Evans had been murdered and the murder was still at large. It made Annabeth nervous. As a blanket of snow covered the town outside, Annabeth thought back to when she suspected Lamar for the murder because of how off-putting he was. She laughed to herself, she now knew this to be incorrect. She thought back to when she first saw the autopsy and the cause of death, a puncture wound to the abdomen. The image of the autopsy stuck so firmly in her mind, she didn’t think she would forget a thing ab...

Thoughts with a Chance of Wishing

The news of the excitement that would come that night first came to Annabeth at work. At work where she still glanced at the autopsy of Mr. Evans wondering what was going to happen now that the police had more information about his death. Pondering the next moves of her new police officer friend, Linh, Annabeth was startled by the sound of someone entering her office. It was one of the fellow nurses, informing her about the shooting star that would across over the town. The gears inside Annabeth’s head began to spin. What should she wish for? Was there anything she wanted enough to wish upon a star? As Annabeth racked her brain, she could sense that everyone in the town was doing the same thing as her. Trying to find the best wish for the situation. One half of Annabeth wanted to wish for something material, like new shoes or a raise at work. But the other half knew there was something more sentimental she could wish for. The sentimental half won. Peering out her window, Annabet...
