The clatter of broken roof tiles against the pavement made Maria jump. Her breath hitched, and she grabbed the edge of the counter, gripping it until her knuckles turned white. The spectacle of the fallen tree, blocking the sunlight, filled her with… a restlessness she couldn't explain.

She avoided looking at the window, the image of the fallen tree burned into her memory. She was certain that the storm would come for her, too.
