There's a storm sweeping in, dark enough to swallow the world. Now Liri and her terrified husband are trapped inside their apartment, watching the lights on the hill vanish behind the rain. There's no power, no phone signal, Liri is sick and the taps are running black...

Is there any way to escape this apocalypse? Or will the end of the world be heralded not by trumpets, but by the drumming of rain?

BLACK RAIN is a 3000 word claustrophobic horror short in the style of Joe Hill and Richard Matheson. It is also available in FUTURE TIDES: THE COLLECTED WORKS OF CHRISTOPHER RUZ.
