"Did you see that?" Mark asked his wife, his voice hushed with a combination of wonder and relief. The massive pine tree in their neighbor’s yard was now a collection of splintered wood. It had missed their house by inches.

He stepped outside, taking a deep breath of the fresh, clean air. He felt a lightness, a sense of well-being that he couldn't explain.

He sought out his neighbor, offering to help with the cleanup. He watched the man's expression change from worry to something else, and he felt his chest swell with… something. He was just glad everyone was okay.
