A Storm Is Brewing

A storm is brewing as the wind hastens, the darkening troposphere trembles with the tornado's teeming tempest afar. Cumulonimbus clouds meet, gathering to brood, to share their destructive morose mood, just as he did that fearful, fateful night as his friends gathered about taunting him. This would be no ordinary storm, but a deadly terrorizing storm exceeding all previous storms. As the tornado strikes, Hades is awakened to rise up with Cerberus at his side to meet the onslaught of obliteration and blood spilled and spattered with a frenzied unrelenting wind force exceeding 100 mph. The house destroyed, his family winging their way toward heaven's golden gates, there would be no rendering of redemption. As the tornado became weak and dissipated, spent from spinning and swirling its wrath, its path of decimation and destruction lay bare with the departed and hard hearted who cast his lot and became besot to spend his final unremorseful days of hate with Hades.
