Rain

The smell of firewood crackling. The pitter-patter of wet little footsteps racing to the window pane. Wrapped in with my family struggling to keep warm. I fall asleep hoping no one wakes me. I open my eyes. I felt the thunder shaking the house. I try to turn the lights on. They flicker on and and suddenly there was another rumble. The lights dim, then turn off. I shake the switch, I wait a second, nothing happens. I go back to sit down with my family, they welcome me into a cave of blankets. I get a chill down my spine, it goes through my legs and out my purple double layered socks. I snuggle in my moms lap. I hear the pitter-patter of the rain stop in their tracks. The thunder dies down into the deepness of the earths core. It's over. The sky is surprisingly clear. I go outside. not even a drop lands on me. It's done.
