How Will They Know?

Astraphobia...

    It's now getting dark out, my dad had washed his hands off from the blood. He was pissed as hell and had way to many beverages for a night.

      I tried to ask him, "were is momma..?". And he didn't reply.. Instead he put me outside, in the cold. It didn't bother me that it was cold out, I typically enjoy being out in the rain. But, about 20 minutes later it started to Thunder and lightning.  I was a kid, the door was locked and I couldn't see very far in front of me.

  I can hear the thunder, I didn't mind that at all actually. But then lightning strikes the tree I was about to sit on, it tips over and breaks the window to the house. I tried screaming for help, and running to my dad's rooms side of the house, all he did was laugh his ass off.
I was out there for about 30 minutes before he let me in so mom won't find me out in the cold.
I was shaking and horrified.

  And that's why I have astraphobia, I know it sounds stupid, but it's real. If you have this phobia you also get called a dog a lot because dogs are afraid of it. But, I can't change people, or their decisions.
