As I'm writing, the storm gets stronger and louder, and my hair is still damp from my happy, but too-short trip to the pool. After a few minutes of disappointment, I got out of the pool to watch the storm from the window. The blur gets bigger and I can't see the forest next to our house anymore. My sister looks up with a huge enthusiasm to say "Wow! What a storm!" and goes back to watching Glee, a phenomenon, while I still can't take my eyes off the storm. As a bird falls, I can't stop myself from laughing with pity and another sound comes, "Bamm!!!". I think of the Gulf Stream, my boyfriend, my school, my friends and how I'm going to the states for a vacation in a week. A bird tries to fly by and my cat meows with a question on her mind. It's like she is trying to say, "I'm afraid, what is this?" I look at her, pet her and the storm stops in a moment. We both look up to the sun and smile.
