Magnolia City
““the heavens know.” Harris County receded behind them, its grasses thinning like hair over bald spots of sandy loam that started to line the side of the road. Pines began to appear, clumps of them tangled together in black silhouettes against the slate of the sky. Hetty’s eyes followed them up . . . and there it came. The rain. Cold sheets of it washed down from the clouds onto their windshield, swallowing up the Wichita truck on their tail. Garret would slow down until an orange speck would fl...are up in the distance, getting closer and closer until it chugged up on their rear. Mists drew into the trees, giving the forests a Nordic look.

Would this rain really go on for forty days and forty nights?MoreLess
