Coming In Out of the Rain

The thunder rolled ever louder as great billowing clouds blew up from the south, covering the early evening sky. As the first stars began to glimmer, lightning stole the show, jagged arcs of electric white shooting between the cloud tops.

And the wind began to blow, causing branches to sway in great motions back and forth, stirring the shadows of dusk that had begun to settle in the corners and under the trees. And the underside of the great billowing clouds turned black, with sharp wisps of tooth hanging underneath. And drops began to fall from the sky.

Maybe we shouldn't be standing here, she said to me. And the rain came down harder.

So we went back inside.
