Theme 18: Rainbow
After barely making it into the metal encased building marked as a safe room, the group of 5 took the time to take it easy for a brief time. Coach went to see what all, if anything, was down the stairs just inside, while Ellis and Rochelle dug through nearby boxes in hopes of finding any undamaged and edible food. Nick was checking his shotgun to see how much he needed to reload it, while Crystal slid the last door bar into place. She glanced out the safe room door 'window' and her eyes widened. She quietly got Nick's attention, and when he came over, she pointed out the window.
"Look" she whispered, as he followed her arms, then hand, to where she was pointing. To his complete and utter shock, he made out the faint colors of a rainbow over a couple of the houses further away. The rain had settled briefly, allowing for them to even see what they were seeing.
"I can't believe it..." he mumbled. Crystal nodded her agreement.
"I haven't seen one of those since before this entire mess...this will sound crazy...but maybe it's a sign..or a promise that things will finally be better soon..." she mumbled, as Nick cast a glance her way briefly.
"Maybe...I'll believe that when I see it..." He moved away as Crystal continued to look at it, hoping her words would prove true as the rainbow slowly faded away.
End of short!
