Alone in the storm
By Penny G
Miserable—cold, wet and miserable
I sit, waiting for the bus
Raindrops tumble down my cheek
Grey, gloomy and gusty; the wind howls around me
A puddle forms underneath my cold soggy feet
Brown mucky water runs down the drain
the sky turns greyer
the rain falls heavier
Crashhhh, the thunder enters the sky unexpectant
the lightning blinds me
thunder rumbling up above me
I enter the bus, the warmth shivering through my bones
silently, listening to the radio
A trail of brown muddy footprints follow behind my tracks
people slowly leave the bus
The acoustic shocks of the storm deafens the commotion around me.
I watch the raindrops slide down the window
Squelch, squelch, squelch
The water in my shoes float around my toes
As I walk home alone in the storm.
