The tempest

Silence. The calm before the storm. The once calm, childish blue sky now black with evil and hatred in his devious glare. Flashes of white stalked towards us like vipers hunting their prey as peoples screaming and panicking radiated off them only infuriating the tempest further.

The rain pour crashed so heavily I could barely see the sky without struggling to breathe. The white veins of the sky came to life and ran across the charcoal sky towards our wooden saviour as if Zeus was enraged.

Silence. Give me back my silence. Waves tugged at the ship, trying to lure it into the empty abyss below. The only sounds were the petrified screams of the crew and tempest.

The falling water tried to pull me down like a weight on my back. The dead sky the last thing I saw before I was plunged into the void below, dragging me to an eternal slumber.
