Author's Chapter Notes: Rated PG-13 for later chapters.
Warnings: Sexual situations in chapter 2, violence in chapter 4, character death in chapter 12.
I decided to challenge myself by writing a series of drabbles, each 100 words, each starting with Elizabeth waking up in the middle of the night. I tried to write a variety of genres (fluff, suspense, action, etc.) with varying degrees of success.

Elizabeth woke. The sound of rain splattering against her window shouldn’t have woken her, but it did. In the darkness, she rose quietly from her bed and padded softly to the window, gazing over the slumbering city. She didn’t usually mind waking up alone, but something about rain over the ocean made always her feel inexplicably sad. As though she were all alone in the world. Not exactly original, she thought wryly, but still true. Elizabeth considered going back to bed, but for now she was content to stand and watch the rain running down her window like falling tears.
