I stare out at the drowsy day
the raindrops pounding the rooftop above me.
The water falling off the rain gutter,
filling it up and overflowing

I sigh, my breath visible in the air.
I wrap the blanket even tighter around me
feeling the cold air pass through the thin blanket.

I watch my neighbor bring a basket across the street
struggling to carry a basket and an umbrella.
She knocked on the neighbor's house across the street
I remembered they just had a baby and was a few weeks old.

I looked back at the door and shivered.
My lungs locked up and I started to cough violently.
My eyes widen at the sight of the red liquid.

I realized that I didn't have much time left
I lowered my hand so that it was resting on my lap.
I gently smiled and looked back outside and saw the rain stopped.
'I guess......it's time.'
