Megan Geers-The Damn Rain

On the regular, I usually enjoy walking in the rain and dancing around outside. Just feeling the mud sqiush between my toes and slapping my wet hair across my face as I move. I feel totally connected to everything and at the same time free and uninhibited, unafraid of being judged by anyone. But this Friday I was so looking forward to going to Halloscream at Busch Gardens and getting the crap scared out of me. The stupid, wonderful, freeing rain prevented me from it though. The park closed at eight o clock because there was no one there. The campus was completely covered with water, flooded. This made me think about how we underestimate nature, we can't control it. In more ways than one, it controls us. It's scary to think that nature decided my plans of getting scared out of my mind were unfit for this friday night. So I just stayed in with my guests and watch a horror flick, damning my favorite part of nature for being my enemy that night.
