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 through the windows while the fireplace roared in the background.
