Title: Hidden Hope Author: evening12 Beta: celestial243 Main character: Remus Lupin Rating: PG-13 Word count: 98 words Content/Warning(s): None Summary/Prompt: Storms have a way of bringing forth our darkest thoughts A/N: This was written for hh_sugarquill ficlet prompt #79, rainbows...but after I edited my work it shrunk to a drabble. No matter, I still like my work. Big thanks to icicle33 for her help.
A storm is coming. I can feel it in my bones. The air is thick and heavy, the sky a dark, menacing grey. The wind howls and shrieks as I lie on the grass, waiting for the storm to descend.
With each falling raindrop, I imagine myself disappearing into nothingness. It is calm and peaceful here. No more terror. No more pain. But even as the storm swallows me whole, I know that I cannot disappear. After the downpour, my parents always await my return.
For now, I will exist for the rainbow that appears after the storm.
