Stormy Night

Stormy Night The night was dark and it was stormy. It was raining hard. They were all alone in that big house. Everybody had left. He was sitting on the living room sofa. She was sitting on a dinning room chair. They had known eachother since they were very young. They were in love, but their families would not understand their relationship. The lights started blinking as the storm kept getting worst. She was afraid and started to shake. He just waited - he knew that she would come to him. The lights went out. The house got dark. The lighting and thunder made her scared. She got up from the chair and ran to him. She needed to be hugged. She jumjed on the sofa and into his arms. He held her close. Locked in his arms - she knew that she was safe. Just then the door opened and the lights came on. Their family had come home. What they saw was their two pets in each other's arms. A cat and a dog.

Wow of wows! Really, really creative. I like the very sudden ending you gave where one expects 'family' to find lovers, people , in each others arms only to find pets; a dog and a cat. The suspense is thrilling! Smart one. Congrats.

Lucilla, this is just precious! I had a feeling this was what the characters were. I have a Dashound, named Prissy and she is so scared of thunder. I also had a cat that was a himmalayian(msp.)persian and mean as adevil but they would cuddle during a storm. (ha!). thank you so much for asking me to read this, it made my day. God Bless
