The idea for The Rain Machine started with watching some of my grandchildren playing at a park. While we were there the weather changed and, just like Mary and Marcus, we had to pack up quickly and race to the car before the rain came. After I told about that experience, the story just took off on it’s own.
The writing prompt for this week is to write a story about a fun time you had with either your friends or family. Include what you did and how you felt.
