Gutter Deluge

Cold raindrops were pounding the porch roof like a thousand drumsticks, and the gutter downspout was spewing an absolute torrent onto the concrete! Normal cowards run inside, but I saw a stage begging for some real action. Spotting a heavy terracotta saucer nearby, I dragged the cracked clay slab across the slick stone, hoisted it high, and shoved it right into the downspout's roaring metallic mouth! The trapped rush of water hit the curve and erupted into a violent, sideways geyser, spraying wildly across the walkway. I stood my ground right in the splash zone, completely soaked, roaring with laughter into the wet morning air. The sky brought the storm, but I called the shots!
