The Rain That Carried Memories

In a small town, raindrops began to fall heavier than usual. But when people touched them, they didn’t feel wet — they felt memories. A drop landing on a widow’s cheek brought her husband’s laughter. Another falling on a child’s hand let him recall the smell of his first birthday cake. Scientists tried to explain the phenomenon but failed. When the rain stopped, people felt lighter, as if the sky had returned memories they weren’t ready to lose forever.
