A Creepy Story

Marvelous! I want to know more!

Likewise!

Ah. Interesting. :)

It's cool, and it seems to imply a larger story. Will you be writing more?

I wonder if the idea of deadly rain (or other precipitation) was something people only started to have once we invented bombs and incendiary devices and Greek fire and stuff, or whether even before we had those things, we imagined what it would be like if rain and stuff harmed us when it touched us. I guess it's extra potent in our imaginations now that we know about things like fallout or acid rain, but maybe it existed in legend long ago--it would be interesting to find out.

The mention of animal souls is intriguing.

Good point about volcanoes! And frankly, even hail and rain can be plenty destructive.

What time period are you thinking of? Horses makes me automatically think pre-automobiles, and yet, of course, people still live and work with horses today, too, so... But the woman had long skirts on too, yes (dang; I'm writing this in a screen where all I can see is your comment and this response I'm typing...)

Anyway, I'm glad that you're going to write more!

(and the angelic-animal soul combination is very cool)

Very nice!
