Author's Note: Written for the drabble prompt: Rain



It didn't rain the day he was buried. Half his soul for the life of another. As the the rays of glaring sunlight danced across broken earth, heads of auburn, cinnabar and gold bent together as one. All save he, who could not even shed one tear for the emptiness he felt was that vast and consuming.

A year passed and the shop shelves became bare and dusty - the potions turned to gummy remnants in their phials; the sweets stale and ineffective.

It was a year to the day that the doors were locked forever. As George shifted his rucksack, the heavens burst open - rivulets of water to mingle with the salt of his loneliness.

Gone.

He wept bitterly.
