Rain lashed against my home office window like a thousand tiny fists, matching the drumbeat of my frustration.

That crushing emptiness hit me like a physical weight when DeltaRune's credits rolled at 3 AM. My cramped apartment suddenly felt cavernous without the game's vibrant characters filling the silence.

The salt spray stung my eyes as I scrambled up the volcanic rock, tripod banging against my backpack with every frantic step. Golden hour was evaporating over Santorini's caldera, and my DJI Mini 3 Pro sat dormant in the dust while its companion Matrice 30 hovered uselessly above the cliffs - both hostages to incompatible controller apps. My thumb jammed against the screen of the third-party software until the plastic case creaked, met only by the spinning wheel of death. That's when the notific -

Rain lashed against my apartment windows last Thursday, the kind of Tashkent downpour that turns streets into rivers. Trapped indoors, I craved cinematic escape but dreaded the inevitable pixelated struggle.

The thunder cracked like shattered glass as gray curtains of rain blurred my apartment windows last Saturday.

The silence in our apartment had become a physical presence after three days of not speaking to Sarah. What started as a trivial disagreement about holiday plans metastasized into something ugly - words thrown like shards of glass, bedroom doors slammed with tectonic finality.

Rain hammered the hostel's tin roof like a thousand drummers gone mad. I'd promised my travel buddies an epic movie night - smuggled projector aimed at the peeling wall, illegal extension cord snaking across the dorm floor.
