The wind picked up, whipping the trees, blowing branches around haphazardly. Loud rumbles reverberated through my skull. Flashes of light captured my eyes, leaving me awestruck while cowering under my covers.

I was curled in a ball, listening to the loud raindrops thunking against the roof and window panes. They were heavy and fat, leaving large splotches across the class. I watched as the water slowly dripped down, pretending that they were racing. It was the only thing I could do to keep calm when the constant booming kept echoing through my room.

I squeeze my eyes shut as twigs and leaves thudded heavily onto the side of the house. The steady trickle of the water running through the gutter brought me out of my daze. I looked back to my window, just in time to see a jagged white light rip a seam to what seemed like another world, just for an instant. My eyes go wide as I continue to watch and listen.
