Drabble: Rain
A rumble overhead drew the blond's gaze from the body slumped in the filth of this London alleyway, pale blue eyes shifting skyward as those first silent droplets fell.
Another wolf lay dead, and the flock carried on, not ten feet away, just out of sight. Unaware. An invisible veil separated even such a short distance.
But the rain fell on the just and unjust, innocent and guilty alike. As it washed the puddle of blood around his boots down into the gutter, it seemed to dissolve a greater stain still clinging in those quiet moments after the kill.
