Rain Log #12
The storm ended at 11:43 PM.
Most people went home.
One resident stayed behind long enough to notice a small figure standing in the flooded street.
Yellow coat.
Yellow boots.
A yellow balloon floating overhead.
At first the balloon looked harmless.
Then the smile appeared.
The witness turned away for only a second.
When they looked back, the figure had moved closer.
No footsteps.
No sound.
Just the reflection growing larger in the water.
The report ends there.
