Standing in the rain is like getting hit with bullets.

When you're caught out in the rain you try to avoid every puddle possible even though you're already soaked. There's something about wet and denim that don't go right together. It causes that feeling of heaviness pulling down at your body worse than the gravity keeping you glued to the Earth.

Everyone screams when the thunder booms. Your eyes light up with the flashes in the sky. Ready for the cloud to burst open, but not really. If you were ready you wouldn't be under it, getting soaked when it starts to pour. Instead, you stand there trying to find some place that is dry when in fact ... there is no where.

Yet, soaking wet, you still try to avoid every puddle possible. What's the difference if your jeans start to pull you down anymore? You cannot drown in a puddle ... or can you? Face first into a ditch of merky mud. It feels like bullets on your back without the blood loss. Even so, the pain isn't the same without the silver.

Someone who drowns in three feet of water won't get the same applause as someone who drowns in more.

Why?
