Thunder: rare. Even undercooked in this forest. Its
appearance, its voice, seems shy and insecure next to its western brothers. It
is the youngest of the brood, nudging up against clouds, testing the raindrop
waters. The house slept more deeply, more unapproachable, than she had
remembered in years. Taking charge of the morning, forging on, clanging, she
continued with her routine like nothing out of the ordinary took place, that
the lightning illuminated a sheltered secret, and the thunder practiced scales.
“I know this may not ever happen again,” she said to no one. “But once is all
that’s needed.”

Earned it.
Does that mean Matty can't get to Azeroth because of the lightning? Thunder comes here too frequently and menaces me with bending trees.
ReplyDeleteHaha I didn't even think of that: I will say I wanted to stay home today more than I can say...poor bendy trees...weather can be a burden
DeleteActually I thought Matty was saying it's raining and so she was going ot get on WoW whilst the house slept, but she didn't...
ReplyDelete/sigh...no :(
DeleteThunder is a cause for concern in our house, because the older dog demands comfort.
ReplyDeleteThunder and Fireworks endanger things as she seeks a safe location, such as behind the television, threatening to knock it over. Or underneath beds she no longer fits beneath, causing the entire bed to vibrate to her teeth jarring shivers, rattling headboard and bed slats.
Huh. She shivers me timbers. I never thought of it that way.
Poor puppy - so many dogs are scared of thunder/fireworks. The fireworks happen quite frequently here, but we don't get the heat to generate thunder often. Tell puppy it's going to be okay...
