The Storm Case

The Storm

This unexpected night of chaos started around two thirty on a warm and humid late summer night in august. Like any other person, I was relaxing in my bed watching TV, exhausted from the two a days of football practice. As I slowly fell asleep engaging into a deep dream, I was suddenly awaken by that dead silent but obvious unconscious alert that something was about to happen.

As my mom prepares us a desert from the kitchen, I breathe in the sweet smell of the sweet potato pie that send chills down my body making my stomach hungry.
