Rambling Shorts
Against…

The wind blows off the water into his face. Water washes over his feet as the waves break against the shore. He stands there staring at the horizon. The skies darken as the storm approaches. Lightning strikes the water, thunder booms in the distance. He stands there listening. The wind picks up and pushes harder. Clouds tower above him as the storm moves closer to the shore. He stands there as the rain reaches him. It starts slowly. The drops barely hitting him at first. At the edge of his existence, clouds falling onto him, rain beating against his face, thunder burns his ears, waves push and pull him. He stands there, against it all.
