The Storm

Some of us have rainclouds.

I have my own personal storm.

Its radius extends a few feet around me, so I tell people about it, to keep them safe. It isn't long before everyone knows about it.

Every day, I wake up and spend the day in my bunker, because I fear a piece of shrapnel or a stray lightning bolt will hurt me.

Nobody else is ever in the bunker, but that's fine. They're not in the storm, so they don't need to worry.

Every day, all I hear is the sound of the wind, and the rain, and the shrapnel, and the chaos, endlessly.

Is this all there is?
