Precipitation
Rain bounces back up from the clouded cement as it hits the ground. The rainstorm casts a muddied filter across the concrete jungle gym. The only splash of color from a nearby playground, a sweet red emerges the twisting slide heavily influenced by the steamy downpour. The shimmering playscape glows in comparison to its high and mighty bureaucratic brethren. I stare out my window sulking away day after day.

From what he could tell it was a big family, with 2 brothers and 5 sisters, and a cat, and a dog. There was nothing out of the ordinary about said family, in fact, Juni thought it was a pretty cool family as far as families went.
