I know it's a bit short, but eh, it is what it is.

The rain fell in relentless, thick drops from the conflagration of dark grey clouds over the burial site. It did not tinkle off of the grey metal coffin; the rain rattled against it like the hungry thunder which cracked intermittently throughout the graveside addresses. Although the attendees had expected to see the lightning which would occasionally insult the service, the sky remained dark. When the casket was lowered down by black clad men with black ropes into the hole, it descended into the churning stomach of the earth with the bile of the blackened sky turning the pit into a swill of brown and grey. The pillbox was washed down with seventy two shovels of the finest mud, now sludge, and the five family members clad in mourning watched from under a small, navy tent as little rivers of dirt washed past their polish ebony shoes to the now filling cavity. The digestion was completed as the resounding thunder clapped it's belly in full satisfaction, although the rain continued to provide the after dinner drink of sweet sorrow as it soaked into the soles of those standing beside the now erect headstone. With the dark maelstrom seething overhead, it was hard to believe that it was only ten o'clock: not even lunchtime.
