Thunder in the Sky


Lightning lit up the sky and he started to count, one 1 thousand, two 2 thousand, three 3 thousand.

The clap of thunder rumbled through the house and the figure under the covers suppressed a cry.

He had to be brave, he was in charge but this was something he was afraid of.

Lightning lit the sky again. He started to count hoping he would make it pass three this time as his door open.

"Charlie?"

"Daddy is that you?"

The thunder shook the house and he sprung out of bed into his fathers waiting arms knowing he didn't have to be brave any longer now that daddy was home.
