I’m covered in dirt.

Weeeeeeeeeeeee! I’m falling, falling, falling. SMASH! Everything around me has turned a strange sort of brown colour. I’m covered in dirt, mud and dead leaves, the fact that I’m the size of a water drop, I am a water drop, makes me vulnerable to anyone, humans, animals even WASHING MACHINES! All these things need ME to survive, but, on a journey like this, I’d rather be in a washing machine for the rest of my life rather than going through this horrible cycle again and again and again, over and over! This horrible cycle starts here, the precipitation stage, where I get thrown out of a nice, warm, fluffy cloud, when I don’t pay rent; so I get kicked out!, then I fall and then SMASH I’m covered in dirt and mud and, yeah, you know.

Well after that I’ll usually go on a nice long slide ride down a massive hill! But it isn’t happening this time, oh that’s right, there are two things that I can do now, I can also get sucked underground, but that isn’t that much fun nor is it very appealing to someone like me either, but I don’t choose what I do here, so I’ll have to learn to live with it I “spose. YUCK! Not only am I covered in mud and leaves, but now all my neighbours are stuck onto me as well! I”m usually wet, being made of water, but this is ridiculous!

Now I’m cold, wet and muddy, this day can’t possibly get any worse. Oh damn it! Now not only am I cold, wet, muddy and stuck to my neighbours, I’M NOW STUCK TO EVERYONE IN MY CLOUD!!! I’m now in an underground water catchment area! (what a big name for something so insignificant.) I feel so trapped! There’s nothing I can do here, at least in the cloud I rented there was stuff to do there, and I was free to do it without being with all these nutters!

SLURRRRRP! Yay! Now I’m getting sucked out of this hell hole! But I still don’t know where I’m going! Maybe I’m going to a washing machine forever! Maybe I’m not… But wherever I’m going, I hope these guys won’t be with me! SLURRRRRP! I’m getting sucked up through this big pipe thingy! Hmmmmm, I think this is a way humans get water to use for things like… WASHING MACHINES!!! But I wont be that lucky, POP, now I’m in the middle of a cool refreshing dam, but I’m still with all these other stupid water drops!

I’ve been in this dam for two whole days and nothing interesting has happened to any of us, although I have noticed that a rfew of my mates have disappeared, and a lot of my damn neighbours. WHOA!!! I’m being sucked up AGAIN but this time I’m just being sucked into the air itself! Ouch, I’m crashing into more of those neighbours, but now I’ve found my mates that disappeared! CLICK! I’m in a nice little warm CLOUD AGAIN!! Oooooh this is the life!!!!!
