The Woman From Hell

My clothes were completely soaked after I had walked for just a short while.

I looked ahead with blurry vision. There was still a long way to go.

There was a small, Western-style building not far ahead, and there was a tiny shade to the side of the door. I walked forward and sheltered myself from the rain.

When would this rain stop pouring?

A gust of cool wind hit me, and I shivered.
