The Storm
100 words
Paige thought it was cute that Alex was afraid of thunder and lightning.
Alex wrapped herself tightly in the downy blanket, ignoring the movie they were watching, as the storm raged outside. She flinched every time a crack of lightning filled the sky.
Paige sang to her because that's what her mother used to do when she was afraid of storms. She didn't know the name of the song. She thought it was something her mother made up at the time. She stroked Alex's hair while she sang; only stopping when she heard Alex's even breaths.
She was fast asleep.
