"GET ME A BEER YOU LITTLE SHIT" Papa yells as he aims another empty bottle at my head. It cracks against the wall as I swiftly dodge. "Y-Yes si-sir" I say as I make  way towards the fridge. "The only my thing you're good for boy" he mutters. 

All the times like these make me miss my Mama. She's an angel in the ground now, she was the loveliest. A perfect mother, a perfect human overall. After she had left us for the heavens, dad had become a mean old mister. An abusive drunk.
He once was a kind man. But he is now fueled with grief, anger, and alcohol.

I hand the beer to my father as I go into my room. I take my iPod and put my headphones in, blasting music. Soon enough I fall asleep to the lull of the beat.

I wake up to the boom of thunder, it's power shaking the house. I wipe the grogginess out of my eyes and go towards the window, the storm clouds gather in my eyes. Theres not enough rain to wash the whiskey stained sins out of this house.

Setting down the iPod, I leave my room and creep down the stairs. I find my Dad passed out on the couch with the T.V. left on. Looking at the screen, the news is on. The weather man calls for a twister, just as he says so the electricity flickers out and the darkness is only gone when the lightning cracks. The sirens go off, signaling the twister had hit the ground. Shaking my dad, I try to wake him up. My attempts fail, I give up. I run out to the storm cellar, locking it behind me.

I listen to the scream of the wind as the twister approached the house. I hear the windows shattering due to the raging wind, the doors slamming open. I pray, ' blow it down, till theres nothing left standing. Nothing left of yesterday. All the tear soaked memories blown away.'

Some may call it taking shelter, while I call it sweet revenge.

Blown away.

Hehe. Hi. I hope this is okay. I heard the song on the radio earlier and it was stuck in my head. And I kid you not, before I heard that song, the wizard of Oz song was stuck in my head. Coincidence? Maybe.

Oh yeah. And if you don't know the song.
Blown away- Carrie Underwood
