Red Rain
"We need to get inside quickly!" One of our group said in alarm.
I looked up and saw the black clouds coming in. They were swirling chaotically and approaching fast. We ran to the shelter and got indoors just as the rain started falling. I looked out at the rain. The red rain. Slowly the world turned to crimson.
We were trapped here until it stopped. If you went out in it, you would get covered in burns that would heal slowly.
I stood there, looking out, wishing the world would go back to how it used to be.
