Spooky SFW | Faces In The Rain
Added 2025-08-03 17:00:12 +0000 UTCI think I’m going to go insane…
It’s been twenty eight days since the seventeenth of December, and the rain hasn’t faltered for a second since then. It keeps falling in sheets, driving down from the heavens like a waterfall. Outside, you feel like you could drown walking.
When this all started out, I don’t think that anyone thought much of it. I mean, this nightmare was just another winter storm then. It started in kind of an odd place, out in the North Atlantic across from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, but I’m not sure that meant anything to people who weren’t meteorologists or oceanographers. The storm started out expanding very rapidly. I’m not sure if it’s still growing or not, since the TV hasn’t come on for more than three weeks, but it sure hasn’t moved at all.
Comments
The bit about the narrator wanting there to be SOME mark of them and their family's existence left behind, so they'll be more than just three nameless statistics of whatever the hell this cataclysmic event might be, hit like a punch to the gut. Love the disaster/survival horror feel to this piece, so chillingly reminiscent of Stephen King's Mist.
