When The Rain Stops Falling
When The Rain Stops Falling
That's what I said. I said how dare you accuse my husband of such a thing.
And so I sent them on their way. I showed them to the door. I could not have
been more indignant. And when they were gone, and I was alone it felt to me
as if the world had turned upside down. And I looked around and saw just
how dirty our room was. Filthy. Layers of dust and dirt and grime. Years of
neglect. How did we let it come to this? And so I began to clean it. I washed
the walls, the ceilings, even the light fittings were scrubbed. I washed the door
handles and the light switches and even the dark corners behind the furniture.
And it was when I was moving the wardrobe that it tilted slightly and
something slipped from the top… And landed at my feet.
