There was a crack of thunder and then the quick follow of hard rain. My heart leaped a little, as it usually does with rain. I glanced out the window only to find I could see nothing but blurred city lights. Rainy weather is perfect weather for a movie marathon. I hastily made a bowl of popcorn, the butter  staining my hand and the aroma filling the room. I grabbed my favorite blanket and movies. I curled into a little cocoon and started “The Notebook”. I popped a piece of popcorn in my mouth, *MMMMMM* I smiled. I shed a tear as the movie ended. Always saddened by the intense ending.
