Rainy Day Prompt

Rain poured down hard as my alarm sounded.  I clicked it off and opened the window, just behind my head.  I closed my eyes and relished in the air.  I pressed play on my speakers and set my iPod to shuffle.  I curled into the sheets, felt the soft, cool air wash over my face and listened to the echoes of the music.  The crack of thunder electrified my thoughts.  I thought of everything all at once, the past present and future.  I thought about how once upon a time I was little and how much I wanted to go back.  I thought about all the bad decisions I ever made and then the good ones.  I thought about where all the choices got me to and how if I slightly changed just one, how different it may have all turned out.  Then, carefully and slowly I thought of forever.  I inhaled the rainy air and eased it out from my lungs.  It was too hard to fathom forever.  I was satisfied with the now: my eyes closed as the rain pitters against my window.  Before I knew it, I thought of nothing and fell asleep.
