standing in the rain - Ghenaya - 8/19/2026
It had been raining for a while now. It had begun as a warm scattered spitting, that afternoon, and as the day progressed and the humidity swelled, there were moments that the clouds shifted south and by the early evening, the rain had begun to cool off and grow in strength.
Starling lay curled in a ball, more or less, under a copse of trees. The weather had turned in spite of her affort to stay dry, she thought. The tree had sheltered her for an hour or so, but now the wallow that she'd made had begun to fill with water and effectively became a muddy hole.
It was refreshing at first, and then uncomfortable. The closest Starling had come to a proper bath since... Well, ever, probably.
Hunger gnawed at her further. Her tucked belly groaned, and she shifted in her wetness, as if the right angle of her body might bring further comfort; instead, she felt the catch of her boney hip against a root, or a pressure to her lower back, and could not find anything but misery.
It was time to get up and move, she thought. The sun had descended so she could at least find comfort in the dark - although the woods were unfamiliar to her for the most part, and her isolation was beginning to damage her on a deeper, irredeemable level.
