A Stormy Texas Night
A Poem
Boom, flash, crack!
***
Rain falls heavily
As streaks light up the night sky.
***
I walk through the storm,
My eyeglasses blurring with each drop of water.
***
The air is warm,
Contrasting the cool rain.
***
I keep my steps quick,
Worried the lightning might strike me down.
***
I make it to my front door,
The sounds of the sky and roof flooding my ears.
***
The thunder continues to roar,
Even in the safety of the inside.
***
Welcome to the Texas storm season.

Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.
