The Sun did Shine but then. . .

Eleven years later.  Eleven fucking years later.  He came back through.  He was on the trail back in the same area where she had left and on a whim he decided to take a detour just to see.  Just for shits and digs.  A little shocked he saw some of her stuff, not much but it was hers for sure.  She was back.

A lot had happened.  He had found the way out and was able to see the sun and blue sky.  The smoke was gone.  There were no fires.  The vegetation was green and lush.  But here he was.  He was back in this world.  The world of the rain.  And this time he knew.  He knew the rain was not going to stop.  ever.  He knew he would not be getting out this time.  On December 8th of 2011 the first of the thunderstorms had come in.  It was huge.  But what would come in 2015 would make that first one seem like just a drizzle. There was a let up but near the end of 2014 the rain was constant and would get much worse until Dec 6th of 2015.  That following morning he woke up on the cold wet earth look back from where he had come and just like 10 years before almost to the day the way back was gone.  All he could see was the dark fog. The rain continued.

He had been in this world for one and a half years trying to find a way out and there she was and she was in the rain too.  This time he would leave her alone.  But he decided as long as he was in the area he would check in now and then but he know she would probably leave. He would just have to watch her from a distance.  Maybe she would notice him and contact him but that would be the only way they would ever talk if they were to ever talk again.  He'd gotten use to false hopes.

It had just occurred to him that maybe she had found a way out all those years ago and now she was back in. "Eleven fucking years ago!" he thought.
