Title:
Resignation


She looked down at the boy splayed in the grass. He had no idea how he’d hurt her. To him it was all a game. He probably thought being honest was good for her. Well, he had helped her. He had made her see what a stupid idea hers had been, saved her the pain of trying and failing. He had tried to pull her down with him, to look up and see the sunshine, but it felt like she was under a cloud. Her own personal rain cloud. She turned from him, from his laughter and smiles, none of them suited her.

Instead she wandered down the road to another park, this one for trains. It had been busy in the past, but now had an air of abandon. The sun seemed less bright the longer she walked, the closer she came to the tracks. The weather sensed her mood and reflected it, a storm gathering. As the first raindrop hit her cheek, she felt the tears she had fought well up. It had always been that way. It always rained when she cried.

She sat on the track that no train had been on in days. They came sometimes, eventually. She would just wait. She curled up on the gravel and listened, the sky crying with her.

A/N: This is a resignation of sorts. I'm taking a leave from picprompt and most writing. After a few particularly bad weeks, I'm unable to continue. I'm sure I'll be back some day.
