All Summer in a Day

I remember one story from my middle school days that we read in school. It was Ray Bradbury's All Summer In A Day. All Summer in a Day (found at this link for online reading) is about futuristic bullying and how one girl is denied access to the sun because of cruel kids.

Often, I reflected on this story because it reminded me so much of CNY rain and the gray days infamous to Syracuse. This spring and summer, though, we've had little rain and yesterday's showers reminded me of the story. It's a quick read if you're inclined to read on screen and I highly recommend it. Because of the dryness, I was very thankful to see the rain fall again.
