Windchimes In A Rainstorm Down By The Highway

The house was nearly empty. Jason was leaving town, and there was maybe one load left to haul out to the truck when the rain started falling again in sloppy drops, accompanied by lightning and quiet thunder. It was a kind of storm we never used to see at that time of year -- it was February, and the rain was cold. The highway that can be heard just down the hill is US Interstate 44, which runs from the Missouri / Illinois border on down to Wichita Falls, Texas.
