Downspout Splashdown
I scooted past the propped threshold into the covered breezeway to get closer to the pouring sky! The metal downspout at the walkway corner was shuddering under a heavy torrent, dumping a furious cold current into an open concrete splash block. Without a second thought, I rammed my base into a discarded plastic golf tee lodged by the drain seam! Pop! The tee dislodged, letting a surging jet of water ricochet sideways. Chilled spray blasted my clear curves, and my molded plastic bottom slid right across the slick algae-stained concrete until I wedged securely against the fluted curb, shivering with pure delight under the cold mist!
