Rain is an unavoidable part of the water cycle.
Rain is made up of water vapour which includes bacterium from the surrounding areas.
Sometimes it includes more than that.
Sometimes it is joined by other things.
You are walking down a road when it starts raining.
Just as fore casted - a light shower.
It comes and goes and leaves the ground damp and...red?
The normally clear puddles of rainwater are red.
Walking slightly faster you notice that all the puddles are red.
They begin to smell.
It is a distinct, metallic scent.
Blood.
As if drawn by your realisation another downpour starts.
Heavier than the last.
Much heavier.
You don't know how you couldn't have noticed before - the sky is teeming with
dark red clouds.
You hear a distant wail, almost like a siren but much more human.
It comes closer, you brace for impact.
The sound surrounds you, near deafening it howls and cries as you try to outrun it.
Your eyes clamped shut as you sprint, hoping to find a doorway to dive into.
You hit something soft and soaked.
Opening your eyes you see a towering thing that seems to be made of the blood
rain.
It begins to sink down.
It has a head.
Its face is your mother's.
She seems angry with you.
