1005 Words5 Pages

It was heavily raining outside. Brown firewood were burning with blue flame inside the stove. Jane, sitting on a bunk bed glazing the window with raindrops on, recalled her memories that exactly happened 20 years ago.

Radios that Jane had collected all differed; size, mass, volume, color… Ironically, those all different radios formed a perfect harmony when those were gathered.
