The wind was a snarling beast this morning. She’d huddled inside, feeling the house tremble. Then, the thunderous CRACK. Now, she stood in her slippers, staring. She felt strangely weightless.

Her breath hitched. She had no idea what she was even supposed to do. She remained, rooted in place, taking in the grand spectacle of destruction.
