It is five in the morning. Something has awakened her from her sleep. She goes to the bathroom and then staggers into the kitchen and looks for something to drink.
Then she hears why she woke up; as a flash of light streaks across her window and she hears the roar of the thunder.
It is her love come to call; he growls, he roars - he shouts out her name as if she were deaf.
This is the only form he seeks her out in now. Why, he will not tell. She can only hear his rage and his frustration.
She smiles, opens the door and looks into the nights sky. Suddenly, there is a moment of quiet as if the sky noticed.
Then small soft rain slaps her skin, almost teasing, almost carressing her.
She shakes her head no, I love you but you must come to me this time.
She turns from the night and enters back into her home.
The night roars its anger once more and the gentle rain becomes a downpour.
