She stood alone on the rooftop, staring up at the sky, with raindrops brushing against her cheeks like cold ghostly kisses. Gray clouds rolled above her like waves in a dark sea, and from down here, heaven seemed just out of reach.

"Bang," she muttered to herself. There wasn't anybody around to hear, only the sound of rain pattering against the concrete. Kayla let her hand fall back down to her side, still staring into the clouds.
