The Sound of Rain

I woke up to the sound of rain. The alarm hadn’t buzzed, and Sam hadn’t woken me, so it was still before 6am. I rose out of bed anyway and made my way to the bathroom in the dark

Sam greeted me on the way, pushing his body against my leg to help guide me. I had been blind from birth, so I could pretty much find my way unaided around my house without bumping into anything.
