It's On

After a brief winter break, my little ragtag online writing group is back in action with Noelle Q. de Jesus as this month's Captain, My Captain. Noelle, by the by, edited the recently released Fast Food Fiction (Anvil, '03). You can read a nifty review right here.

My Captain has proffered the following writing prompt for this week:

Before she was even aware she was awake, before she even opened her eyes, there was the rain and the sound
of it filled her dark room.

I've only been there twice, but I'm already thinking of the Philippines: warm rain on salty skin, the heat pressing down, the sensation of wilting where you stand.
