Chapter 19: Calm Before The Storm

Comments: Okay, this chapter is incredibly short but the meaning behind it is very important.

Mood Song: Break My Fall by Breaking Benjamin


Do you know that feeling you get right before a really heavy rainstorm?

The complete and utter calm.

You can smell the moisture on the air, almost tangible on the tip of you tongue, and you know any second the heavens are going to burst forth and drown you in their sorrows.

Ready.

Waiting.

Almost upon you.

I had the exact feeling when I woke the next morning. It followed me into the shower, through breakfast, and shadowed me on my way to work.

Something big was about to happen. I didn't know what. And frankly, I didn't want to.

I could smell the storm and I was powerless to stop it. All I could do was wait for it to catch up to me and drench me in its pouring liquid.

Snuffing us all out with its sheer power.
