Our car is at a standstill on the pavement. Headlights can be seen from behind us, but they are slowly dimming. We are unsure of how far back they are, or if there is anyone else in front of us, because of the water streaming from the sky like tears off a betrayed lover’s face. If we had a sunroof, we might be able to look up and see chaos, but instead, we can peer through the windows on the truck...

I always knew this would be the cost of sailing, but I never imagined it would be so high.

She rocked back and forth, ready to collapse any moment now.

But we, her children, wouldn’t let her.

The storm raged against her, but we dared not let her go.

The clouds sought to strike her down with their might, but we dared not let her go.

The hard rain tried to stone her, pushing her to her limit, but we...

I should have expected it really, with the way it felt too humid, and the weather reports, of course. But round here, aways way out of the nearest town and even further from the city, the weather reports predictions were more wrong than right.

When I heard thunderstorm, I thought of rain and nothing more. We didnt get too much of that, thankfully. I didnt think id be hearing thunder louder than ...

The sky was dark and wind whipped through the remaining orange, red, and yellow leaves clinging to the branches of their oak or maple trees. There were flashes of light and loud cracks of thunder coming closer and closer. Goose bumps formed on my skin but I didn’t know if they were from the icy drops of rain or the impending danger in the skies. I sped up to hurry home and watch the light show th...

Soaking wet here…

Gray sky applauses me!

Umbrella left at home brings woe....

Henrietta pulled her cloak tighter around her throat, and stepped out from the safety of the alcove into the thunderous roar of the storm as it enveloped the city streets. Father’s coach was due to return to collect her at the conclusion of the party, but she could not bare to stay a moment longer. She had come to Cunningham’s ball hoping for a night of thrills, romance. A night to demonstrate who...

It was useless. They would never make it back in time.

The ground beneath shook from the strength of the funnel chasing them.

“Don’t look back,” Oliver screamed.

He was plunging forward. The pelting gusts are whipping. His body propels us forward. The lightning lit the way. The path turned muddy from the sudden melting ice, increasing the difficulty of reaching the cave.

With one last push, w...

I ran quickly along with the rain that drops viciously from the night sky and never thought about taking a break even if I’m soaked from the water. I always loved the rain that I used to dance under it and allow everything about me being all covered in water. But now, it’s scary that the thunder comes here and there sometimes. No cars were in sight except them being parked.

I hated when I’m the ...

It was a bloody brilliant evening.

(it really wasn’t)

The sky was already mottled like bruised skin with purple clouds that churned with the threat of a storm.

"This is great, really just wonderful", Therese mumbled, fishing in her bag for the retractable umbrella she kept for emergencies. Of course, as destiny would permit, the damn thing wasn’t even there.

Therese, in a last resort to sa...

Warren’s eyes drooped as he rested his head back against the headrest, the car now successfully pulled off the highway and the stick shift pulled back to park.

A tow trucker had been called; now all Warren had to do was wait for the man to arrive, tow his car, bring it to the dealership, and be his saving grace for the week.

It’s funny how much a dead battery can impact someone’s life. Even if...
