“Rain whispers secrets to the earth,” she said out loud to her cat.
He didn’t reply.
She sat down to write a drabble, a 200-word short story that helped spark her writing juices. It was good to get back to writing as she’d had a dry spell the last few weeks.
The rain outside was more than whispering, it was pounding. The forecast said there would be rain, but this was more like a monsoon. As the rain started to drive sideways, the wind picked up, and something made a horribly loud sound, like a freight train.
The cat jumped off her desk and ran under the sofa.
“What the hell?” she said to no one. The cat couldn’t hear her now.
She looked outside and saw a dark shape coming towards her.
It was a tornado.
