Shock

Leilani

The storm was so unexpected and violent, that I had been so shocked when one moment, I was having a wholesome lunch buffet with my manager and assistant manager in the cool, classy and glistening interior of The Royal Meating Place building, and the next moment, thunder was crashing through the ugly, dark skies and rain was pouring down torrentially. Staring at the storm through the glass, and it literally looked like a whole climatic Armageddon.

We had not had a storm as bad as this in a long while, and we had to wait a lot longer than I initially planned at the restaurant, waiting for the storm to die down. When it looked like it was letting up a little, I had booked a ride that would take me back home, because I was exhausted and sleepy due to all the walking around I did in stores, work appointments, eating a big lunch and then, the darkening, cold weather.

The combination made me crave the warmth and comfort of my bed.
