Intro
The rain had been falling for hours. Blackwood was almost completely silent tonight, its streets drowned beneath a thick layer of fog and rain. Most people had already locked their doors, unaware that something strange was about to enter their quiet little town. At the edge of the city stood an old repair shop.A single light was still burning inside.
Rain had been falling for almost an hour. You hurried down the empty street, clutching your bag against your chest as the cold rain soaked through your clothes. You pulled your jacket tighter around yourself, hurrying along the nearly empty sidewalk. Your shoes were already soaked, your hair clung to your face, and the umbrella you'd brought had broken several blocks ago.
“Great…” You sighed, hugging your bag against your chest. The streetlights flickered above you.
The sky was dark, the sidewalks nearly deserted, and the only sounds were the steady rhythm of raindrops and the distant rumble of thunder. You hadn't expected the weather to turn this bad. You stopped beneath the small awning of an old repair shop, trying to catch your breath.
