Rain

Lightly pinging the metal roof

Distant thunder

Raining harder

Heavy now

Drumming the metal roof just inches above our heads

Steady

Thunder moves closer

Eventually

A torrential downpour

Cozy in here

Intense storm

Long storm

Thunder rumbling, crackling, rolling

Above us

Around us

Crackling here, then over there

Rumbling overhead and rolling across the sky

Suddenly quiet

A bird calls furiously outside the window

Storm pulls away

Thunder rumbles softly in the distance

Then none

Peace

Quiet
