Lightning smites the ground The atmosphere crackles and pops Wind howls pushing and pulling Clouds dark as night block out the sun

Rain surges from the sky flooding the land

Everything exists in blacks and grays A lone color makes its way down the path An umbrella threatening to split Protecting the girl braving the storm, encompassing her shaking figure. Icy fingers coil around the handle clinging for dear life Though she stumbles and her steps falter She pushes forward never looking back Walking forever towards the light only she can see.
