Rain

Rain crackles on the sidewalks As the thunder bellows and roars. Cars hiss by on the wet streets As fallen leaves soar. Lightning flashes in the clouds As the trees dance in the wind. Chills and goosebumps rise on my arms As the cold rain hits my skin. Birds sing in their havens As rivers form in the parking lot. Blades of grass flinch and twitch  As they are pelted by raindrops. Cars sweat and weep buckets As they are left out in the stormy weather. Puddles form in the mud As raindrops splash ripples in them together. The scent of asphalt and rain Fills the cool, humid air As God’s rain calms my restless soul And washes away my despair.

3 Webcomics You May Enjoy

1. Space Boy by Stephen McCranie

This sci-fi webcomic is about a young girl named Amy who, after she and her parents are sent away from her space colony to earth, ends up befriending a strange boy named Oliver who is hiding a secret. Wanting to help him, she tries to figure out what’s going on. However, in the process, she finds out that something more sinister is happening in the shadows.

This comic is enjoyable not only for the art style, but also for the depth that each character has in the story. Amy’s friends as well as some other side characters change and grow. When the characters give each other their perspectives on things and advice, it’s almost like they are giving you life advice you’d probably get in a nice therapy session.

The comic is a clean read. So far, there are no inappropriate scenes and there is no swearing. One person does die, but the death is not violent or graphic. You can read the webcomic on Webtoons here.


2. The Silver Eye by Laura Hollingsworth

The author of this comic actually helped me find out about Space Boy. This fantasy webcomic is about two boys, Apen and Enel, who are each from two rival families who have been butting heads for years. Apen is a king exiled from his homeland and he leads a new life in . Enel is an orphan who doesn’t yet know what to do with his life and knows nothing about his family.

When they meet, they must work together to achieve their goals and embark on a dangerous journey along with their friends.

The characters’ interactions with each other are both intriguing and sometimes humorous. The art by Hollingsworth is beautiful and vibrant. This comic is a clean read, as there is no swearing, and there are no inappropriate scenes thus far. However, people do get injured and die in this comic, and one scene does get a bit graphic (there is blood shown). I would recommend this webcomic for ages thirteen and up. You can read the webcomic here.


3. Pixie and Brutus by Pet Foolery (AKA Ben Hed).

This webcomic is shows the adventures of Pixie, a cute, innocent, and sometimes naive kitten, and Brutus, a retired military service dog who is more grounded and a bit pessimistic.

This humorous comic not only has adventures that Pixie and Brutus share, but also shows the interactions and adventures their other animal friends have. The webcomic so far seems family friendly, but it does touch on some serious topics, such as Brutus's time in the military (The comic strip is Too Fast, to be more specific. It shows violence and blood). With that said, I would recommend it for ages thirteen and up. You can read the comic on Webtoons here, or if you have Instagram, you can view his Pixie and Brutus comics on Pet Foolery’s Instagram account.

Hopefully, you will find some or all of these webcomics entertaining and enjoyable.
