Summer Rain

"Final boarding call for Wiener Neustadt to Bruck an der Mur. Please mind the gap!" Raging, red lines and white stripes made up the train before me; the colors so bright in contrast with the pale beige paints of each building in Vienna. Standing unusually close to something so very large was eye-opening: I am minuscule in the grand scheme of things. Petite hands gripped a blue suitcase handle, pearly teeth greeted fellow passengers warmly.

The familiar pitter, patter of water against an open window caught my attention and I moved to load my luggage. Tomorrow would be a new day - and with it, hopefully, less rain.
