kavyen said...: Great snippet.. Soft and dense is the perfect description for a pouring rain. Thanks for your theme suggestion, I hope it gets selected in the random selection next week. I think it will be a cool theme as well...; April 22, 2011 at 12:45 PM
Crystal (I totally paused!) said...: I'm so glad to hear your surgery went well!

Mine had rain in it as well, it mirrors the weather outside this week! It's from The Vespertine.; April 22, 2011 at 1:14 PM
Cat said...: I like that description - soft and dense brings to mind a gentle rain.
My snippet is also about rain but rather more uncomfortable.

Happy to hear your surgery went well . :-); April 22, 2011 at 5:35 PM
