I had a full large cup to go of iced tea from a coffee shop where I met to talk with my oldest brother, as I was leaving the dark sky let loose a heavy rain.

In my car I realized I was hungry so I pulled into the drive thru of a Captain D's and got a Classic Fish Sandwich and parked in an empty lot as the rain pounded on my car.

I ate sitting alone in my car in the rain.

Everything was distorted through the water on the windshield, but I could see a girl having an argument with her boyfriend by the back door of an office. Both of them were talking and their arms flailed violently.

My radio had somehow been tuned to an unused frequency on the AM Band and with every flash of lightning, crackles of static came from my speakers. It sounded like patties of hamburger meat being flipped on a skillet.
