Ok - really short one .. I know, sorry - I tried adding more to it but then changed it back to how it was in the beginning - it's a less is more statement ... I just really wanted to leave the ending like it is.-AkuIku
Rain always seemed to darken his mood . . .
Often I'd find him staring out the windows of the Manor, waiting for the storm clouds to roll in.
I suppose he could feel the rain before it came - a dull ache in every joint, in every healed bone, beneath every scar . . .
Rain always seemed to put him in a philosophical mood . . .
Which was never a good thing for a man haunted by so many demons.
It always surprised me what he'd come up with when left alone with his thoughts.
He once remarked that rain was heaven's tears come to wash away the sins of the world.
Which had thrown me since Bruce was never a religious man . . .
Over the years he had seen many things and if anything he had come to resent the implications of God as some benevolent higher power.
Which was what made his statement all the more confusing, yet from the look in his eyes I could tell he actually meant it . . .
I chose to quietly remind him that he didn't believe in god - or heaven.
He said that sometimes he wished that he could . . .
and for once I agreed with him . . .
There it is - I'll try and update again soon - review please I love people's imput! - AkuIku
