The rain had finally stopped, leaving a glistening sheen on everything. From his bedroom window, Thomas stared. The tree, that old elm that had stood sentinel for as long as he could remember, was down. It wasn't just down; it had taken out a section of Mrs. Peterson's fence.

He felt the corners of his mouth twitch upwards into a smile, as he walked to the fallen giant. He could barely contain his delight. He had never seen such a magnificent sight.

He ran his fingers over the rough bark, felt the earth beneath his feet, and giggled. This was beyond anything he had anticipated.
