Forecast

"I was pretty used to it raining in the Hagen Valley. It didn't rain that terribly often where I had come from, but here it was a rare day that didn't include some sort of drizzle. We were currently, however, experiencing so much rain I was beginning to think I should start building an ark." —CHOKE by Obert Skye
