This #freewrite is dedicated to @tygertyger
Elma sat in the bus shelter and watched the rain smash down around her. She worried that the shelter itself might not be able to survive much more of a pummelling.
She toyed with the idea of making a dash for it, but a car came screeching around the corner, all dents and no glass and a what looked like a very scared old man driving it, and she decided that if the rain didn't kill her, then someone trying to escape it most likely would.
She removed the basket from her head and tapped her beehive hair style back into place. She used so many products to keep it that way that it hardly moved, but she could feel a hole, where the rain "drop" had driven it's way through to her head.
She watched the end of the world around her and was suddenly reminded of a dream she had of a sad and confused all-seeing woman who reeked havoc on the Earth with the power of her mind. Elma wondered if that was what was happening. She often had strange dreams and some of them did seem to predict future events...
