Can’t remember why I wrote this story, called ‘Toronto Rain’. It’s not like it happened to me, or that I’m in any way similar to either of the main characters.
Those main characters have never met. They may never meet. One doesn’t even know the other exists.
I think I find the story interesting because I’m not sure if the one character is innocent or guilty. I’m not sure that it matters. What matters is that an anonymous person in another part of the world is trying to help him, from a tiny space in a wet city.
Have a read if you have a moment. It’s less than 1,500 words, an anomaly for me, but it covers a lot of ground. It’s been published in DarkWinter Literary Magazine. You can read it for free.

As I was reading your story, I was listening to the CBC. Kara Kemir by the Kronos Quartet was playing and it just added something to this wonderful story.
Thank you, Dale. The Kronos Quartet! That is a quality soundtrack.
Hah! Someone (I know it’s you Trent) knows good music 🙂
Wonder why I’m showing up as ‘Someone’? I mean, I am someone, but still…
With the new changes in stupid WP, unless you are logged in, you are anonymous or someone…
Ugh. This place is so weird, isn’t it? Why break a good thing?
This place is making it less and less enjoyable to play in. Forcing the block, adding the block comment, throwing pop-ups to subscribe to the blog you are commenting on… the list goes on!
Firstly, congratulations on having this published to share with the world. You transported me to Toronto and the tunnel life. I could feel the rain as it hit my skin. At the same time I felt like these characters were right here in my room and I was able to watch them. It is a sadly beautiful piece, Trent. I will read it again and have shared it on https://www.threads.net/ as I still haven’t found you there.
Hey Michelle, thank you for this. Sad and hopeful is what I felt when I wrote this. I don’t know what threads.net is! But I’m checking it out now.
Threads is the replacement for X(twitter). I only check my twitter feed now for you and Amy Reese. I was using twitter less and less and when the whole X thing happened I pretty much stopped.
I think I have to check this out. X is so full of bots and nonsense now.
