Meet Me at the Docks

"Meet Me at the Docks at 11 When the Rain Starts to Fall" is, despite the huge name, a very short text I added to Antold Story a while back.
A friend of mine pointed out the lack of information about the story here on the blog today, and because of this - and the fact that I honestly have forgotten to give more insight to the text - I will clarify a thing or two now.

The story came to me when I was trying to start planning some important school project, naturally, and would have escaped me completely if I hadn't written it down immediately. It was rather important for me to focus on this, instead of the more necessary things for school, since I hadn't had inspiration to write anything for a long time, which always frustrates me greatly. This immediacy might also show in the text itself, since it ended up only with the main items, without too much plot or explanation about the background story, etc.
Another reason why I decided to go with the inspiration and shift my focus from school to fun was that maybe I would have some practice in the area of depicting things, rather than just telling a story without a 'backdrop'. I'm not sure whether I succeeded in this or not. You be the judge.

The most important thing to know, now, is that the man described in the story lost someone, namely his lover, a woman he was madly in love with. He is a very straight-forward type of a man, so he does not believe in any sort of supernatural ideas. However, one day, some time after his lover's death, he finds a note on his desk saying 'Meet me at the docks at 11 when the rain starts to fall.', singed by the woman. He hesitates at first, but ends up sneaking out alone to the dark docks of New Coast Road late in the evening, hiding in the shadows until there's no one else there but him, when he steps out of his hiding place. He's not sure what he's supposed to do, so he just walks about, following the waterline and talking to himself - or to the lost lover, asking whether he's even supposed to be there, and why, and who sent him the note, etc.
Eventually he gets his answer, since as the rain starts to fall, the mist gathers in front of him - in the form of a woman (I'm not sure if I actually included this in the story or not, I cannot remember. I was supposed to though...) - and he understands that somehow she came back to say goodbye to him, since they were separated under harsh and sudden circumstances.

Oh well, there's all I can say at the moment. If there's any questions, feel free to ask. :)

On to another topic I was just reminded of by what I wrote in there somewhere; inspiration.
I saw this amazingly funny and surprisingly useful speech a while back, and thought that it might be good to put it here for some curious passers-by to see as well. :)
