The raindrops hit the ocean waves with no more impact than a feather used as a sword; they joined the mass of water flowing inland with not so much as a second of resistance; the one was easily dismissed as just a raindrop, but the days of steady impacts could not be overlooked at all. The seemingly pointless addition of the solitary raindrops would prove to quite the contrary when the waves, swollen with the force and mass of the added raindrops, came crashing into the expectant, but woefully unprepared shores. They were expectant, yes, but it did not matter much as their only defense against such a destructive force would be the petty preparations they were making for its arrival. When it rains for a day or two it can be overlooked. It is less trivial when it rains for a day or two across the entire planet. Further, it is impossible to not focus the whole of your being on the situation at hand when that situation has it raining across the whole world for more than a month now. Crops became soaked past the point of redemption after a week; rivers and lakes spilled over their embankments after two; streets and cities began to flood, causing millions and millions of dollars worth of damage, but more tragically costing hundreds upon thousands of deaths during the third week; and finally, now in the fifth week, the world began to realize how it would end.

Next talk about why.
