Very Short Story

Rainbows

'Tell me about rainbows,' she said. 

'The sky is happy,' I said. 

'Was it sad before?' she said.

'Perhaps. The rain can do that you know? Flood your roots. Destabilise you 
momentarily. But no matter how angry the storm, and soft our sadness, the 
rainbow is a universal promise that every raindrop has a reason, and the 
light is never out of reach.'
