Every Time It Rains

My mother taught me not to ask questions I did not want the answers to, and sometimes I still wonder how different things would be had I not learned what I did that rainy night in Port Royal. With my father consumed by his work and my mother lost in the fog of insanity, I ended up venturing the dangerous town alone. Mingling with buccaneers, barmaids, and citizens brave enough to face the bawdy streets and alleyways, I learned more about life, lust, and betrayal than I had in all my days before—but it was the unveiling of a shocking truth that turned my world upside down. Knowing my future course had been inevitably altered, I turned my back on the life I had always dreamed of and set out on a path of my own. But the memory of that fateful moment will forever haunt my soul every time it rains. -Remington Rain-
