Love Beneath the Black Rain

The first raindrop fell like a whisper of death. No one believed the reports at first—news of a rain that could rot skin, turn lungs to ash, erase humanity with a quiet hiss. But the skies kept darkening, and soon the world stopped looking up. Now, the streets are empty. Cities lie silent, drowned not in water, but fear. Aboveground is a graveyard. Underground, a forgotten shelter holds two survivors—each haunted, hardened, and desperately human. She is a woman of science. He is a man of stories. Together, they breathe recycled air, count flickering lights, and pretend the end hasn’t already arrived. But the heart does not understand extinction. And love... love has a way of blooming even in poisoned soil.
