A Half-Life's Quest for Glory

Merely a good title. But there would probably be a huge copyright issue if I got money for it. So just enjoy.

Cinematic Moment: Rainy Lamp Light #1

I grasped the car keys in my hand as I was about to head out the door. I looked down at them and smiled. There was a feminine attribute that was very apparent. Attached to the key chain was a small platter of lip gloss encased in plastic. It clicked girlishly against the other keys on the ring.
I stepped out the door with my zip-up hoodie zipped up and the hood over my head. I stopped abruptly and examined my surrounding. It was in the mid-evening, and the sun was completely down, leaving the homely neighborhood dimly lit by a yellow street light. The air was wet with the light rain that was pouring down. A strong gust of wind was lightly tugging my body east, down the road. I confidently smirked. The weather was beckoning me to partake of its awaiting adventures. For a while I was tempted, and I stalked to the middle of the road and began to shake my breathing. I nervously eyed the dark houses around me. During the day they were the abodes of my neighbors that were familiar to me. But now, in the rainy night, they were strangers. I looked towards the street light with earnest. It's yellow hopelessness tickled my cinematic senses with a forsaken atmosphere.
But, excited as I was by the dark neighborhood, I had to go to mutual that I was already five minutes late for. So, I whipped around towards my house and quickly stepped to my car. I got in, started the car, and drove away, escaping the beckoning night.
