Peripheral Sight

Wailing winds rattle windowpanes, with sounds of moans and clanking chains. Your whole world begins to shudder and your heart soon starts to flutter, as a violent vibration: shakes your house to its foundation. Caught in your peripheral sight a tornado's twisting the night: and debris swirling in the dark as the twister carves out its mark. And gazing at the face of Death: you gasp for air, struggling for breath.
