The rain fell like the drops of an oil lamp, slow and hesitant. She kicked a stone back and forth with the toe of her black high heels.
Her blonde hair plastered to her head she struggled to find a direction, though she didn't really care which way she went as long as it was away.
Her long coat swung in the wet breeze and the lights from the street lamps discovered her only in a black satin nightgown, drenched and clinging to her abandoned curves. She sniffed and sobbed, tears mixing with the oily rain, a confusion of salt and heavenly release.
How long had it been since anyone touched her? She had been married for 8 years and stopped feeling loved in only 3 so she wouldn't, she couldn't be touched by him again. A mixture of her own guilt and resentment towards him was a hard combination to digest and after living in utter emotional limbo she had had enough. He had tried to steal all of her dreams, because he didn't have any of his own. He couldn't control her because she didn't respect him and she desperately wanted for someone to take control...of her.
Now she wandered in the slow, driving rain looking for a purpose. She kicked the stone harder until it flew up high and landed on the window shield of a car stopped at a light. The man unrolled his window and yelled, "Hey! Are you crazy? What are you doing?" Not realizing that hers was an accidental infraction and that she was also at the end of her rope.
She snapped, she picked up the only rock she could find and threw it hard with a defiant "fuck you!" hitting the hood of his car and then ran on her high heels into the darkness of the next street over. The man pulled his car over and chased her. When he finally caught up with her he was breathing hard and could barely speak, but his eyes said it all, he was livid.
