      As the two sat on the couch it started to rain then storm. Lightning flashed and thunder boom. With every clap of thunder he jumped as she sat there peacefully taking it all in. A huge clap of thunder boomed as the power went out and the couple jumped, her a little startled and him terrified. He started to freak out as she grabbed his hand and told him it was okay.
   "Look out the window." she said.
     They sat in darkness as they looked out the window. Lightning flashed lighting up the sky and the rain. He started to relax a little until the thunder clapped.
     "Listen." She said.
       So they sat in silence and watched the Lightning yet again light up the sky and the rain. Then came silence, but it wasn't silence he could hear the rain softly pitter patter on the window keeping a steady rhythm.  Then came the thunder a low rumble this time. It crescendoed and decrescendoed.
        The two sat there for a long while watching the Lightning and listening to the thunder before they both fell asleep, still holding hands looking out the window at the nightmare turned fantasy called a thunderstorm.
