you join as chorus of screams and as you scream with them you notice that the red mud isn't mud
parts of your legs have turned into the mud
as the rain grinds you
you look ahead seeing a sea of bodies in the rain
the sky laughs
the clouds cough
The raining day ritual was complete
you were its sacrifice
a sacrifice to the weapon of mass destruction of weather

You are pulled out of your dissociation by the sound of the sky cracking.
It sounds like thunder but more violent, like a tear through the sky
The air intensified
A new rain falls on the prison.
Its banging seems to break rocks and stone
Water drips down from a crack in the ceiling
more and more drops.
The sound is deafening as the rain drums on the concrete
It drills through
and the [[ceiling collapses]]

The ceiling bring down some of the cell wall leading directly outside
Someone outside screams
You run outside to freedom
The moment the rain touches you a part of your skin is shredded. You go for cover by a nearby tree
You look up at the tree you have ducked under
The rain is falling in an uneven pattern there seems to be parts you can duck in between
Shards of bark rain down onto you
It won't last long
[[Run to another tree]]
[[Try to run towards the acreaming]]
[[Run towards a building]]
