Storm Premiere Contest Winner

Fiery shafts explode in light. Thunder shakes the black of night. Wailing winds shriek and cry As storm begins to fill the sky. Clouds in chaos twist and swirl Release their sting of icy peril. Sea churned white and sick with foam. Gulls in fear, no longer roam. Earth is purged of earthly pride. Hell's mad fury, while Heaven cried. written 08.29.2016
