Mar. 26, 2007 The lightening lit the heavens, and the rain started coming down in sheets. Nobody took notice at first, other than to say the normal things and do the normal things. Maybe wear a raincoat if you had to go out. Let that dog out in the yard this time instead of the walk to the field. But then it got bad, and the wind was taking a few shingles off here and there. It was stressing the trees, and the watery streams leading to the sewer grates were not little watery streams but almost raging, and seemed to have their own little whitecaps. The whole roadways were looking like waterslides made out of asphalt, and the water was rushing right past the sewer grate, to the next one, and then the next, and keeping on going. People looked from windows, with that serious faced look, some kind of stern logic in their souls, and then they became a bit humbled and began to get away from the windows, and drapes were drawn and people went to doorways and basements and cold rooms. Some force turned up the storm, and roofs came off, and the whole street, which was on an incline, began to be washed away. Cars, trucks, trees, and sheds. Houses, fences, people, animals, mailboxes, and lawns. The storm continued for days and nights, and by the end of it all there was nothing left save for a hill, which was all that had been there in the first place if anyone were to think about it. Nature had reclaimed what was hers. What had taken ten years to build up to the way it was, left in days. As if it was not all enough, after a day of sunshine, the lightening lit from the heavens, and the rain started coming down in sheets again. ------------ Email Brian Michael Barbeito: Brian1750@Hotmail.com Comment on this article here! ------------ All articles are EXCLUSIVE to Useless-Knowledge.com and are not allowed to be posted on other websites.
