So I took a walk in the rain and took pictures. Two terrifying sounds, but outside of that, it was amazingly desolate. Very happy I did it. It was purifying. Here’s what Seattle looks like at 4am in the first rain:
i was looking at this picture and thinking, it looks like a parade of ghosts who are really happy to be walking with each other, when just behind my left shoulder, i heard an electrical cracking like a radio tuner dial turned quickly through the oblivion frequencies. i nearly jumped out of my skin. i turned around there was nothing there, just the falling rain in pale yellow light. that was probably the freakiest moment of the night. I had to catch my breath.
