My futile race against the elements

Today was quite an exciting day for me........I was literally in a race against the weather which at the time was pouring rain. I closed from lectures early today and had to pick up some post as a favor for my big sister who kindly paid for the trip. As I approached the main post office I could feel this cool cold breeze that kept flowing past me and it felt quite good since the sun was really doing a number that day, so after picking up the post I noticed this large looming black cloud that was rapidly approaching with little flashes of lightning and some thunderous claps here and there. I quickly made my way to the bus station (yes I do use the bus and i don't see anything wrong with it....some might say its not cool to ride in a bus, but trust me you learn a lot when you sit in a bus) praying that it would fill up before the rain started, but alas just as the last person was seated this fierce looking cloud decided to pelt us with raindrops as big as cats :-) . The driver seeing this quickly made his way out of the station and the race was on! every single time we slowed down a bit the rain seemed to furiously pelt us as if trying to say we could never outrun it. I mean the road out in front of us was as dry as it could be and behind us the rain was soo heavy you would think it was a curtain of water. I silently prayed that I would get home just before the rain got to me but this was not to be the case since as soon as I got down at my stop, a blast of droplets hit me in the back with such fury that I was winded and got goosebumps all over. Luckily the stop was only a few meters from my house so I escaped from becoming overly drenched...........but guess what the funny thing was?........it stopped raining as soon as I stepped in the house and the sun came out as if to mock me!........life......even the rain is out to get you.
