The sky wept, releasing a torrent of rain that hammered against the pavement. Grey clouds hung low, swallowing the sun and shrouding the world in a misty veil. The air, thick with the scent of wet earth, hummed with the rhythm of falling water. Raindrops danced on windowpanes, blurring the world outside into a watercolour painting. Inside, a warm glow emanated from the fireplace, offering a comforting refuge from the storm raging outside.
