EXERCISE: A quick line

How about this one? Start with:

I spent the evening trying to catch the rain.

And then let your fingers and imagination roam. Why was this person trying to catch the rain? Did they actually do it? How were they trying to catch it? What happened next? And who else is involved in this? Did someone drive them to this?

Go ahead, dream a bit, and then tell us about this person out trying to catch the rain.

When we write, we learn about ourselves.
