Greetings and welcome to writing.com!

A warm and charming flash fiction, somewhat in the style of a magazine page, "Chicken Soup for the Soul" type of thing. I really enjoyed it.

A couple of suggestions for formatting on WdC: most text formatting options can be found in the line of boxes above the item entry space. First select your text that you desire to modify, and then click on the appropriate boxes. I always recommend using size 4 Verdana font to ensure readability across devices. I would also recommend a word count be added; it's a good habit to develop in case you want to enter contests down the road. Word count can be found by clicking the tiny gear at the top of your item.

I couldn't help wondering how she lost her umbrella without noticing, if it was raining steadily. But I suppose when she entered a shop and closed it up it could have gotten lost. Such things happen often in cities; in fact, my Mom often tells me how her umbrellas would keep getting lost in New York back in the 60's.

And I just heard Rihanna's Umbrella song this morning, too *Music1* Serendipity is a beautiful thing, just like how the stranger's kindness brightened Lily's rainy day and reminded her that there is light in the world.

I don't have a lot of suggestions here, in fact hardly any. You've painted the rainy city streets for us with clarity and feeling. The words come smoothly and the vignette is simple and understandable.

Take care, thanks for sharing and keep writing *Smile* *HeartT*
