Here we are, another week, another Bradbury's Jar prompt. I thought I'd do something a little different this time. Instead of a single word from the jar, your prompt is "Tears in Rain." Use a word, a phrase, a concept or whatever visual imagery you take from Rutger Hauer's "Tears in rain" monologue from the original Blade Runner movie. In case you don't remember it by heart, here's the text: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." Of course, if anyone would like to focus on the death of an artificial life form (Zark) and write about its (Zark's) demise, I think we'd all like to see that. So, go ahead and write something. Write anything. I've given you loads of leeway!

The moment when the raindrops blurred the note Rick was reading -- like his own tears in rain -- Princess let out a contented sigh and took Mark's hand in hers. He was debating whether to try out a proper first kiss, when their communicators rang. Untangling arms and legs they jumped off the couch, all thoughts of a quiet movie night forgotten. Just before heading out the door, Mark turned around and planted a short kiss on her lips. "We will always have Centre Neptune."//

That's really sweet DT!

Good one, DT. Of all the secret bases on all the planets in all the galaxy, she had to walk into his...
