It starts first as a tap, barely noticible and easily dismissable. Something you can easily ignore
Tap, tap, tap. Pay attention to me! Yet still you can ignore it. If you ignore it maybe it will grow tired and go away. But it won't be ignored. You can't just walk away from it. Not when you stand inside its realm of influence.
Faster the taps come, harder, and now rather than just a little poke, big flat patches of surface contact is made on your skin. Slaps that turn to stings.
Go ahead and run, you can't out run it. You can hear it laughing at you and your feeble attempts to get away. Pull your clothes up to protect you from the stinging blows, it will do no good. for it will even turn your own garments against you to hinder you from getting away. It will take your clothes and wrap them tight around you, contricting movement. Your shoes even become heavy so that it is a struggle to lift your feet. Even your hair gets involved and falls into your eyes to keep you from being able to see where you are going.
If only you just resigned. Give in. If you don't struggle it won't hurt. It will be easier if you just let it have its way.
Besides....
a little rain never hurt anyone.
